If you are looking for a quirky Christmas gift that the whole family can enjoy, you are in for a treat when the most recent edition of Monopoly is released next month.
The “Big Things Australia” edition will be available at the Bowen Visitor Information Centre and will feature Bowen’s iconic Big Mango.
Manager of Bowen Tourism and Business, Leanne Abernethy said the team were excited about the upcoming release.
“Big Things are very popular with travellers, and we are sure this will be a popular edition to our range of merchandise at the Bowen Visitor Information Centre,” she said.
“We still have copies of the Whitsundays edition which was released last year, and we are pleased that the Big Mango will now be featured on the board of the newest Monopoly game."
Monopoly is popular worldwide and originates from early in the 20th century. There are hundreds, maybe even thousands, of different versions.
“The Big Mango was named the “Best Big Thing” in Queensland earlier this year and is now featured on a $1 coin as part of a collector’s series produced recently by the Royal Australian Mint,” Leanne said.
“To now be featured on the newest edition of Monopoly tops off a great year for our iconic Big Thing right here in the Whitsundays.”
The 10-metre Big Mango was built in 2002 and is a replica of the Kensington Pride variety of mango as Bowen is the birthplace of that variety.
