If you’re the kind of traveller who slows down for a giant piece of roadside art (and let’s be honest, who isn’t?), then The Big Peanut in Kingaroy deserves a spot on your Big Things bingo card. Standing 3.4 metres tall and 1.2 metres wide and tipping the scales at a whopping 450 kilograms, this golden nut is impossible to miss.
It is more than just a big peanut though. The steel sculpture was crafted from various pieces of farming equipment gathered from peanut farms right across the South Burnett, making it a true local creation.

You will find it outside Lions Park and steps from The Peanut Van, where it stands as a proud and slightly quirky nod to the region’s peanut growing fame.
No South Burnett road trip is complete without meeting The Big Peanut in person.
