Bananas are Sharni’s favourite food. So when we discovered there was a town called Banana in Queensland we thought it prudent to visit. On the way there from Charters Towers we got ourselves a new battery at Emerald. Installed the new battery in the carpark at Super Cheap Auto and she was good to go.

What a novelty it was to visit a town named after the world’s greatest food. Actually the town isn’t named after the fruit but after a yellow bull from the region. Still the name alone was good enough for us to stay a night at the caravan park and have a beer at the pub. They only charge $12 a night without power at the caravan park. Super cheap. With a hot name like Banana, such cheap accommodation can’t last once the word gets out. Snap it up while you can.
