The Big Banana was built in 1964 and is the forerunner of Australia's roadside 'Big Things.' You can walk into the concrete banana, about 13 meters long, for free to take photos. It has grown into the Big Banana Fun Park, with summer water slides, an ice rink, toboggan slides, mini golf and a banana plantation display. Paid attractions require separate tickets. Don't miss the banana chocolate ice cream and banana bread from the gift shop. It is about 4 kilometers north of the city center, along the Pacific Highway.
