The Big Orange

That makes it one of a very small group of oversized objects in either country that you go up rather than merely look at, alongside the Big Rocking Horse at Gumeracha with its ladders and three viewing platforms, and the now-closed four-level Big Orange at Berri in South Australia.

The two oranges are worth comparing directly. Berri's is fifteen metres and twelve across, the largest of Australia's Big Fruit, and its interior is shut. Harvey's is smaller, sits on a tower rather than on the ground, and is still open. The one that survives as an experience is the one that was less ambitious.

Harvey's claim on the subject is real. The district in Western Australia's South West is significant citrus country, and Harvey Fresh built a substantial juice business on it – the name is on cartons across the state.

Climbing inside a piece of fruit to look at the orchards it came from is a considerably better proposition than photographing it from a car park, and it is the reason this record marks access as following the venue rather than being roadside.

The maker and any date at all did not survive into any source.
