351 Pacific Hwy, Coffs Harbour, New South Wales NSW 2450 Australia

Discover the iconic Big Banana, a must-visit gem born from the vision of John Landi in 1964. Seeking to captivate passing traffic, he drew inspiration from Hawaii's "Big Pineapple" and, with the help of local engineer Alan Chapman and a 1200-pound investment, turned the idea into reality. Constructed by builder Alan Harvey, The Big Banana, Australia's first "Big Thing," opened its doors on December 22, 1964. Today, The Big Banana has evolved into a vibrant Fun Park, proudly featuring the largest Water Park between Sydney and the Gold Coast, an Ice Skating Rink, Toboggan Ride, "The World of Bananas" theatre, Laser Tag arena, 36-hole Mini Golf Course, the country's biggest Giant Slide "The Racer," Go Bananas Fun Zone, 4D Ride Simulator, Gift Shop, Going Bananas Cafe, Candy Making Kitchen, Opal Centre, Steve McEwans Reptile World and more. Experience "a whole bunch of fun" at The Big Banana Fun Park!

The National Cartoon Gallery @ The Bunker Coffs Harbour is Australia's only dedicated cartoon gallery. It is housed in a genuine World War II underground bunker which was constructed in 1943 as a communications facility for the R.A.A.F. Today it is a quirky exhibition space with regularly changing exhibitions of funny and insightful cartoons from Australian and International cartoonists. The Bunker is also the home of the Annual Rotary Cartoon Awards and holds a collection of more than 24,000 cartoons, one of the largest collections of its type in world. In the past month a brand new gallery has been added above the old bunker so there are now two galleries for the visitor to spend time viewing from the fantastic collection held by the gallery. We also now have a beautiful café that is open during the gallery opening hours - 10am to 4pm - every day but Good Friday and Christmas Day.
