The Big Pineapple closed?

[stephenb (Stephen)]

We just had friends return from a holiday in QLD and they tell us the Big Pineapple has shutdown! Chains across the gates, etc. A local worker said they'd had a couple of owners but nothing has eventuated.

Any IIS local can tell us more? What will this do for the 'big icon' industry?

Well that could still be so - in liquidation - but the last I heard was this:

But the big prawn is almost history as bunnings have purchased the property and its plans prolly don't include a sunbaked crustaceon.

I hope the Big Banana is not next!

Maybe it is about to be reborn as per the newspaper articles. A few weeks ago I heard the new owners of the property talking on ABC radio. Seems they bought the place for a song and we may see it up and running at sometime in the future.
