Big Pineapple, Agricultural tourist attraction in Woombye, Australia.

The Big Pineapple stands 16 meters tall as a fiberglass structure with a steel frame, featuring two observation levels and interior displays.

The structure opened in 1971 as part of Sunshine Plantation, becoming the most visited tourist destination in Australia during the 1970s and 1980s.

The monument represents the evolution of Australian roadside attractions and gained recognition as a Queensland Heritage Listed site in March 2009.

Visitors can explore the surrounding 165-hectare property, which includes a wildlife zoo, train rides, and adventure courses from 9 AM to 4 PM daily.

The site hosts the annual Big Pineapple Music Festival, recognized among the top ten regional music events in Australia by Qantas Airways.
