Road trip season is here, which means you might soon be driving by one of Canada’s many roadside attractions.
There may be a few that come to mind – maybe the Big Nickel in Sudbury or Tyra the Tyrannosaurus in Drumheller, Alta. But as Globe and Mail reporter James Griffiths recently learned on his trip to Australia, Canada isn’t the only country that builds massive monuments along their highways.
