the big banana qld

Hate to ruin the road-trip trivia, but the Big Banana isn’t in Queensland—it’s in Coffs Harbour, New South Wales.

Born in 1964, the giant fruit fronts a whole amusement park: water slides, toboggan, mini golf, laser tag, and even an ice rink when you’re feeling un-Tropical.

It’s right off the Pacific Highway and about as subtle as a ute with a subwoofer, so you won’t miss it.

If you’re after a big thing in QLD, you’re probably thinking of the Big Pineapple on the Sunshine Coast.
