Erected recently on the Pacific Highway near Coolangatta is this BIG RED THING.
It marks the Queensland - New South Wales border.
Also opened recently was a new section of the expressway - upon which it sits - making travel to the Gold Coast a whole lot easier from Tweed Heads and all points south.
The local papers are saying that it will become an iconic landmark.
It always amuses me the term iconic - that the media throws around so carelessly.
In fact the truth is that an icon has always had religious meaning attached to it.
Actually an icon ( according to the dictionary )is a religious picture painted on a wood panel.
Accordingly anything well known - has now become an icon.
So along with Paul Hogan, the Opera House and Kylie's Arse - we now have another one.

There are worse things to worship than Kylie's arse. Too small for me, of course.
