Following overwhelming demand for the first collection, Australia Post has released its latest $1 coin collection in partnership with the Royal Australian Mint, celebrating Australia’s iconic roadside attractions.
The Aussie Big Things 2 collection features 10 of Australia’s favourite Big Things including The Big Strawberry, The Big Mango, The Big Merino and The Big Prawn.
According to Australia Post research, almost two thirds of Australians say they’re happy to go out of their way to visit a Big Thing, believing they make a road trip feel uniquely Australian.
When it comes to the most iconic Aussie road trips, New South Wales comes out on top as offering the best drives, followed by Queensland and Victoria.
And many Aussies are hitting the road over the airport runway, with 1 in 3 Australians preferring road trips to overseas travel, and more than half packing up the car for two or more road trips a year.
