Big Lobster

[2] Designed and built by Paul Kelly for Ian Backler and Rob Moyse, it is made of steel and fibreglass and was intended to attract attention to the restaurant and visitor centre at which it is situated.

A local lobster fisherman, he formulated a plan to build a visitor centre in Kingston SE while travelling in the United States.

Upon returning to Australia, he formed a partnership with Rob Moyse, and they engaged Ian Hannaford to develop the complex on a vacant block of land.

Paul Kelly, who had previously built the Big Scotsman in North Adelaide, was employed to design and build the new structure.

[3][11] The designer, Paul Kelly, modelled the structure on a lobster that he purchased and had stuffed for the purpose, and built it at warehouse out of a steel frame with a fibreglass shell.
