Tourist attractions...?


The little town of Denmark in the South West of WA is known for its forests and wineries, but the main tourist attraction (at least they'd like to think that because I bet it cost them a bit of money) is the World's Largest Barometer!

It was donated by a retired Dutchman who landed in Denmark (perhaps the wrong Denmark??) 10 years back. He ran a barometer museum in the Netherlands and couldn't part with his 12m tall record breaking beast. So he brought it with him. Guess he couldn't fit it in his cottage.
