Australians love big things and nine in 10 people are said to embrace the oversized landmarks as a part of their great Aussie road trip.
For 72% of Aussies, visiting one is more than just a detour, it adds purpose to their trip.
Following overwhelming demand for the first collection, Australia Post has released its latest $1 coin collection in partnership with the Royal Australian Mint, celebrating Australia’s iconic roadside attractions.
The ‘Aussie Big Things 2’ collection features 10 of Australia’s favourite Big Things
including The Big Strawberry, The Big Merino, The Big Prawn, and Bowen’s own The Big Mango.
Manager of Bowen Tourism and Business, Leanne Abernethy said everyone was very excited to have the Big Mango featured on a $1 coin.
“Everyone loves the Big Mango, and we feel honoured that it has been chosen as part of this new coin collection.
“Aussie Big Things capture some quirky and wonderful aspects of Australia, and more and more people are making sure they include all the Big Things on their road trips.
“The coins are available at Australia Post outlets, including the Bowen Post Office, but we will also be selling them soon at the Bowen Visitor Information Centre.
“Our release date will be October 7 when we will have a limited amount for sale but there will be no pre-orders.”
The Big Mango represents the Kensington Pride variety of Mango as Bowen is the birthplace of that variety.
The Big Mango was named the Best Big Thing in our state at the Queensland Day awards in May.
