Go Big, Go Orange with Australian Traveller

The Big Orange hits the list of Australian Traveller Magazine’s “Guide to 31 of Australia’s Iconic Big Things”

We agree, it wouldn’t be an Australian road trip without a sighting of a Big Thing.

Fans of James and the Giant Peach by British author Roald Dahl will appreciate the fact the owners of Harvey Fresh went out on a limb in order to celebrate the citrus fruit grown in the surrounding orchards. Harvey now rests on a 10-metre-high tower at the Harvey River Estate and, for a small fee, you can climb up into the giant piece of fruit to discover information about the history of Harvey.

The Big Orange in Harvey sits atop a 10-metre tower with an additional 4-metre (62 steps) climb to a viewing platform inside the orange.

It sits within the grounds of Harvey River Estate, an award-winning winery and orchard on the banks of the Harvey River. Call in for a refreshing drink after scaling the magnificent viewpoint and taking in the beautiful view!
