Amy Clarke is a senior lecturer in history at the University of the Sunshine Coast in Australia. She specializes in the study of cultural phenomena, particularly the significance of roadside attractions known as 'Big Things' in Australian culture.

Recently, she has commented on the resurgence of interest in Big Things post-COVID, highlighting their role in domestic tourism and local economies.
