The Lowdown
The World's Tallest Bin at Norseman is one of Australia's most unexpected Big Things - an enormous garbage bin standing over 8 meters tall at the gateway to the Nullarbor. This quirky landmark celebrates Norseman's commitment to keeping Australia's outback clean, with a message that's hard to miss. Located at the start of the long, empty drive across the Nullarbor Plain, the World's Tallest Bin gives travellers one last photo opportunity and a reminder to dispose of their rubbish responsibly before entering one of Australia's most remote stretches of road.
