Big Pineapple Heritage Registered - Owners mount legal challenge


Very interested to see the first of Australia's Big Things get heritage listed.

Australians, it seems, just love our big things. The roadside attractions, examples of novelty architecture are quite unique to our culture and are major domestic tourist icons.

Nambour's iconic Big Pineapple, just outside of Brisbane which lays claim to being the "World's largest Pineapple" is now protected.

But not everyone's happy. The owners certainly aren't. Now they can't make any changes to the place without EPA approval and they're threatening to sue.
