It tops a story in the Sydney Morning Herald, which begins: “German supermarket shelves have been stocked with koala-shaped biscuits in a bid to lure more big-spending German tourists to Queensland.” Guess this campaign didn’t grab enough big-spending German koala lovers.
For the same story, the Brisbane Times went with this headline: “Koala-Shaped Snacks to Lure Big-Bikkied Tourists.”
In this context, I’m assuming “bikkie” is slang for this, not this.
Anyone have the definitive explication of the phrase “big-bikkied tourist”?
