It seems Australia has a fondness for big things. The pineapple in Gympie, the Giant Earthworm in South Gippsland and Ned Kelly in Glenrowan are some of the finest examples that prove this fondness. Now look at the picture above. Located on the northern outskirts of Coffs Harbour, it’s a huge structure known by the name the Big Banana. It is 40 year old giant structure which is probably the most photographed object in Australia. Believe me it’s so gigantic that you can walk through. It is indeed one of the most famous man-made tourist attractions of Australia. Whichever time of the day you go, you’ll find cameras clicking away, individuals, couples, honeymooners, small groups, families and loads of people recording their visit to the Big Banana. Even if you fall short of time when you are on a visit to the Big Banana, I suggest you not to miss taking a short walk up the big banana sky-walk. It’s an elevated walkway through the banana plantation that provides access to Coffs’ coast lookout offering spectacular views over Coffs Harbour City Centre. If you plan your trip to Australia between July and October, you can view the annual migration of whales. Even the thrill seeker won’t be disappointed. Half a kilometer downhill you can take a Toboggan ride that guarantees adrenalin rush and fun for all. Also, there is a Big Banana ice rink that offers wonderful opportunity for ice-skating. With lots of recreational activities, a variety of food experiences and several retail outlets, the Big Banana is a family place that has something for everyone. Image Credit Source: Stuff
