The Big Lobster, Tourist attraction in Kingston SE, South Australia.
The Big Lobster stands 17 meters tall, stretches 15.2 meters long, and spans 13.7 meters wide, with a steel frame covered in fibreglass.
Paul Kelly designed and constructed the structure in 1979 for Ian Backler and Rob Moyse to promote their visitor center and restaurant.
The steel and fibreglass crustacean, nicknamed Larry by locals, represents the importance of the seafood industry in South Australia's coastal region.
The site includes a restaurant, visitor information center, wine tasting area, and playground, located at the intersection of Princes Highway and Dowdy Street.
The sculpture's details were carved from foam before applying fibreglass, based on a preserved lobster that Paul Kelly purchased for reference.
