226 Big Things, one marker per town: 199 places, duplicates collapsed
Asked:“there are lots of duplicates. just use rough town/city locations in the map”
The extracted registry lists 251 Big Thing name/location rows; after rolling duplicates up to rough town centroids that becomes 199 town and locality markers covering 226 sculptures. Marker size shows how many Big Things a town holds; the dashed line is a rough town-to-town geographic sweep — not a verified road route.

Caveat: town centroids came from live search results and some locality names are ambiguous, so individual points can be approximate or occasionally mis-geocoded. Former or demolished attractions may remain in the source list; three towns are flagged as including one. “All” means the accessible extracted registry — an encyclopedic census counted 1,075 Big Things in 2022, so no single open list is definitive.
Findings
Coffs Harbour is the densest stop with 4 Big Things — Big Banana, and friends — followed by Port Macquarie with 3; in all, 24 towns hold more than one sculpture. wikiwand.com
Collapsing duplicates removed 52 same-town repeats: 251 inventory rows become 199 map markers, exactly as requested. wikiwand.com
A 2022 encyclopedic census reported 1,075 Big Things nationwide — roughly four times this accessible registry — so treat this map as a generous sample, not a closed register. wikiwand.com

Source
Data: 251 Big Thing name/town rows extracted from the accessible Wikiwand “Big things (Australia)” registry, deduplicated to 199 town/locality markers (226 sculptures) with rough centroid coordinates from live search results; centroids may be approximate or occasionally mis-geocoded. The route line is a rough geographic sweep, not a road-network optimum. Former attractions remain where identified. A 2022 census cites 1,075 Big Things nationally; entries beyond the accessible list were cut.
