  • Here's a blast from the past...there are quite a few changes now.
    Unfortunately the mono-rail has gone but we now have the addition of a toboggan run, an ice skating rink and a full inflatable water park!

    This video needs to be preserved for posterity! It will serve as a reminder and proof for those of us who were too young to remember whether this place was a fever dream or an actual place our parents brought us.

      haha, absolutely! This should be in stored in the Australian history archives!

    One of my earliest childhood memories is the bunyip. I'm also a little saddened that you can't find a picture of the bunyip anywhere online.

    So sad to see no one has posted any photos of the bunyip that emerged from the lake!

    Another reason why the 80's were the best! The way the music and the Big Banana jingle is like, the overall aesthetic of the park, the style of direction of the video... Such a pure time!
    Would love to take a time machine and visit with a Hawaiian shirt, flip flops, and a good tropical drink with it all.... 😇🍹🌴

    Thank you so much for uploading this. I'm 32 years old and when I was 4 my family took me to the big banana.
    I've been telling them for years "don't you remember the bunyip? Don't you remember the man eating flowers?" nope. They've thought I was crazy.
    Well finally some God damn evidence has surfaced and I can finally prove my family is wrong.

      This is a classic! I went here on a year 5 school excursion in 1996. I'm 31 now, and remember this like it was yesterday. I pity kids these days. They will never experience anything like this. Hell, they probably wouldn't want to anyway, damn hooligans!

    The monorail should come back again while I wasn’t born back then but it looks great I will have to go to the big banana one day I wonder if some of the facilities are still there like the gardens and bunyip lake etc
