Where the big things are, 1983. In the first edition of The cane toad times, an irreverent journal about all things Queensland, an article on ‘Big Things’ featured this map. The paper stated, ‘In Queensland, we are unusually blessed with Big Things; the joy of the Big Mower, the awe of the Big Car Stereo, the effort of emptying enough stubbies to build the Big Stubbie, the ludicrousness of the Big Seagull holding a lawn bowl, the shabbiness of the Big Clown and the Big Flagman at Santaland, the terror of the Big Hammer poised to pulverise cars venturing to Ipswich – these Big Things and many others enrich our lives.’ It was estimated that there were at least 50 ‘Big Things’ within 100 miles of Brisbane.

In Gregory’s second edition, published in 1966 the Gold Coast appears as an inset but the Sunshine Coast is yet to emerge and is instead represented with an inset of ‘Maroochydore Caloundra’. Gregory's street directory, 2nd edition, 1966
