Located in Coffs Harbour, on the North Coast of New South Wales (Australia's East Coast).

In 1964 John Landy wanted something to make passing traffic stop at his road side banana stall. He had already heard of the "Big Pineapple" in Hawaii and thought that something big would definately stop traffic.

With assistance of 1500 pounds and local engineer, Alan Chapman, set about designing the giant banana by cutting the best looking banana he could find into 40 pieces and developing plans from which builders could work from.

Builder Alan Harvey started the construction in September1964 with the work to be completed before Christmas.

The biggest banana in the world was officially opened on December 22 that year.

Not long after John Enevoldson joined as a partner and they expanded with 20 more plantation acres, a shop, cafe and a larger car park with both wives and three employees at the helm.
