The peanut capital of Australia will soon be home to the 'big peanut' and join the list of Aussie towns proudly displaying their token 'big thing' along our country's most iconic tourist trail.
After five long years of campaigning to bring the tourism drawcard to Kingaroy, Kristy and Geoffrey Board, along with local filmmaker Tina Torrens, will venture to Grafton to meet with artist Kane Minogue from Studio 303.
Mr Minogue, a metal magician, will transform the tower of historical nuts and bolts contributed by the Kingaroy community into a 3.5 metre tall peanut, which will be perched upon a six foot platform in Lions Park within the next few months.
