The Big Pineapple

Here's proof the Aussies are every bit as goofy as Americans. I stumbled onto this roadside attraction on a trip to the Sunshine Coast. It was worth a stop and some shots to capture the moment. And this wasn't the only attraction I drove by. I also saw a huge cow, and one site claimed to have the world's largest ginger plant. The Big Pineapple has some steps inside and a little balcony you can pup up into just below the leaves. It's really corny!

I stopped and had a bite of lunch in the parking lot across the road. The lot was huge...definitely space for several hundred cars, and there was even a bridge over the road. All this in lovely Nambour, Queensland, just off the M1.

A great piece of Australiana.
