An unmistakable icon of Ballina. Yes it’s in the Bunnings car park- how bloody iconic can you get!! Legendary stuff.
*History alert*
The supersized sea creature was constructed in 1989 as an ode to the local prawning industry. It underwent additional work in 2013 to give it a proper tail, as it originally lacked one. The giant crustacean was built on West Ballina's transit center, which was positioned on the main highway that passed through town.
The hardware giant Bunnings revealed it had big plans for our Big Prawn as part of the opening of its Ballina store - a $400,000 makeover including a shiny new coat of paint and the addition of a tail.
The new and improved prawn was officially unveiled in time for Bunnings' official opening in July 2013.
