Hi Bob,

Don't know why that didn't work. Weird. Thanks for the address. I'll drop her a line.

My Lonely Planet guide has a list of the "big things" in the index. I may be able to go see one after all. There are, or used to be, similar things back home in Maine. There were cheese shops shapeped like a wheel of cheese with a wedge cut out of it. The door was in the wedge. There are still one or two of them around. There are plenty of gift shops with reproductions of lighthouses in all sizes. There is one place along the coast called The Nut House which is a gift shop and museum of sorts. It has some odds and ends outside to denote it from the other tacky shops along the coast. There are giant ice cream cones and a giant Santa Claus that shows up from time to time. But nothing like what I have read about in Oz.
