Koalas. Bananas.

Apparently the Aussies love outsize versions of things. So I'm told. Cowboy boots, kangaroos, koalas. I've only come across the koalas so far.

This one was good. In the blue mountains.

This one was a bit weird. I think they got the ears a little wrong.

Yep the ears are definitely wrong. Here's a real one we saw in Brisbane.

Things are looking up on the banana front. When we arrived they were getting on for $19 a kilo (about £14). Look at this...!

Still not many takers though.
