The Lowdown
The Big Mower at Beerwah is a tribute to the quintessential Australian weekend activity - mowing the lawn. This oversized lawn mower stands outside a major mower dealership on the Sunshine Coast, celebrating the Australian obsession with maintaining a perfect lawn. From ride-on mowers in the suburbs to tractor mowers on rural properties, keeping grass under control is a national pastime. The Big Mower honors the machines that help Australians achieve their dream of a neat, green yard and the dealerships that keep them running.
