And you can park it where?

TARCUTTA, Australia — The continent that gives us the platypus, the koala and Crocodile Dundee does it again. One of the most important crossroads in all of Australia might soon be home to the biggest truck in the world.

The truckstop is in Tarcutta, about halfway between Sydney and Melbourne. A group of developers known as Rimfire Development is building a $110-million development to spice the place up and as part of the development, they want to build a 60-meter long truck as a tourist attraction.

Rimfire Development spokesman Ray Clark says it will include a giant truck as a tourist attraction.

“People have the Big Banana, the Big Pineapple, the Big Merino. Why not a Big Truck?” he said.

“It is a trucking interchange. We’re designing a truck that’s probably two to three times larger than a normal truck — and it’s huge.”

Tarcutta is not only a stopover point for long-haul Aussie truckers, it has seen more than its share of accidents. So in 1994, ReCar Consolidated Industries built a Trucker’s Memorial monument, dedicated to, it says, “the memory of truck drivers who have been accidentally killed while performing their duties in the transport industry.”

Saturday, January 26, incidentally, is Australia Day.
