The Big Banana Fun Park is one of Australia’s most famous “Big Things” and iconic tourist attractions, located in the coastal city of Coffs Harbour, New South Wales. Built in 1964, the landmark features a walk-through 13-metre-long novelty banana set within a working banana plantation. Over the decades, it has evolved from a simple roadside photo-stop into a full-scale family amusement park.
