About
Welcome to Thulimbah, home of Big Apple — a massive tribute to the region's agricultural heritage and farming excellence. 13km north of Stanthorpe on New England Highway. This impressive structure has become a beloved landmark in Thulimbah and a symbol of the region's unique character. Big Things are a uniquely Australian phenomenon — oversized sculptures that started in the 1960s as a way to attract tourists and celebrate local industries. Big Apple continues that tradition beautifully, giving travellers a reason to stop, stretch their legs, and appreciate the quirky creativity of regional Australia. Whether you're on a family road trip, ticking off your Big Things bucket list, or just passing through Queensland and looking for a memorable photo op, this is a stop you won't regret. It's free to visit, easy to access, and guaranteed to put a smile on your face. You can find it at coordinates -28.55, 151.95 — just punch those into your GPS and you're sorted. Jump out, grab a photo, and add the stamp to your Passport. Open all year round. 📸
