The original “Big Thing.”
The Big Banana in Coff’s Harbour is the show piece of a banana plantation and fun land. It was built in 1964 and was one of the first big things. I’ve read a few places that it was “the original,” but who knows!
After you walk through the banana you can spend the day eating banana dishes, buying banana souvenirs, or playing in the amusement park. We settled for a few photos and one run down the toboggan. It was $5 well spent.

xo, jill
there’s always money in the banana stand.
I like your rating system
And you HAVE to stop by the big stuff in Australia for photos. Just have to. I have a photo with the Big Banana somewhere!
I love that you’re doing the big things. We have a twenty year old book of them somewhere. We know what brings the crowds
I don’t know how anyone could pass a Big Thing and not stop!
I guess now is the time to admit I was super excited about the big things before we even arrived in Australia. I saw Mike’s photo of the big mango and my friend (who is in her 60s) photo of the big mango and instantly vowed to get one of my own!
I think I’m due for another round of AD!
