"Australians have long held a fascination with big things.
Whether it's Coffs Harbour's
Big Banana, Ballina's
Big Prawn or the
Big
Pineapple in Nambour, there seems no better way to put a country town on the
map than installing something huge.
In south-west Victoria, the regional city of Warrnambool is planning to launch
Australia's largest floating array of solar panels.
More than 1,200 double-sided solar panels will be permanently moored in the
middle of the Brierly Basin as part of a $1.4 million pontoon project unveiled
by water authority Wannon Water.
It is not clear whether the green energy innovation will translate into a
tourist attraction, however the proposal promises at least two big changes: a
big reduction in greenhouse gas emissions, and big savings off electricity
bills."
