2025 Aussie Big Things 2 $1 AlBr Uncirculated – The Big Mango

The town of Bowen is located on the north-east coast of North Queensland in the beautiful Whitsunday Region. This land is important to the Birri, Jangga, Juru, Gia and Ngaro peoples.

The tropical climate and fertile alluvial soil are ideal for growing several crops, such as mangoes. The Bowen Mango, also known as Kensington Pride, is a familiar sight in the nation's supermarkets.

As a tribute to the industry and advertisement for the region, in 2002 the Whitsunday Shire Council sponsored the construction of the 10-metre high Big Mango. The giant orange fibreglass fruit stands adjacent to the Bowen Visitor Information Centre, four kilometres south of Bowen township, as an eye-catching photo opportunity for tourists travelling the Bruce Highway.
