Not sure about the previous Found log? Unfortunately there was definitely no sign of a cache here still today, though all was not lost as we did stop for a pic with the Big Banana!
As I have previously found this cache I decided to check on it today and it's definitely not there. I have sent the CO a message regarding this cache.
Was trying this one to get our 500th cache. Unfortunately we could not find it and then saw the DNFs before us 
TFTC! Finally visited the Big Banana, for the first time ever! Thank you for placing a cache here.
Off on a short geo-tour to Coffs Harbour for a couple of days. Out on Evie rounding up as many smiles as I can.
I have been by this spot many tim4s, but never felt the need to stop. Much easier to get to on the bike.

Arrived at the Banana & heard, there must be a cache here, yep, and now found. TFTC
We stopped for a banana smoothie (recommended) and were delighted to find this cache nearby!
Not sure how we missed this one last year, but we are back on the big drive and stopped to see if we can collector this time. it was a very quick find at GZ and we signed with Hogwarts85.
Thanks

Stoped with the geofam for a choc banana and a giant slide. A quick park and grab. Can’t see one on the map in the rear car park. TFTC.
Having a great time at the big banana! We were just about to split like a banana and we decided that we should go and find it. TFTC
On our road trip to Brisbane from Sydney, we stayed at Coramba overnight then got up early to beat the rush. Weren't disappointed! Got our photos and had some delicious banana pancakes for brekky. After that, we made a quick find here before heading off.
Note to the owner: I don't think this is wheelchair accessible. Should be a T1.5.

I'm on holidays with my family. My dad 999hunter found most of them with me.
Read 999hunter's log for more.
The big banana was cool we stop to get photos and get the cache

After leaving Queensland, "the sunshine state", which must mean something different than what I thought, we got to New South Wales and actually got to see what colour the sun actually is.
This was the first time that our family had ever been to the Big Banana, so we had to stop and get a few photos and collect a cache.
Thanks for the cache its jono

Ate a banana at the big banana. I’ve avoided this place for years but eventually you just can’t resist... TFTC
Find number 4254.
A nice quick find even though the area is as always packed out with tourist muggles
Thanks its_jono for placing this cache.

2nd cache for the day and second log replaced as it was full. Hope this trend doesn't go all day. Tftc
Fairly quite here this morning, found the cache ,but the log was chock a block ...didn't sign and had no replacement log with me !!sorry. Thanks its jono for the cacheStopped by after dinner at the local Thai place. The Hancock Clan and I had fun taking photos. Unfortunately the log is very wet and unusable. We didnt try removing it as there was no way it could have been replaced. This needs some TLC. Thanks for the cache at such a well known Aussie icon.
A quick find with tronador after meeting up for dinner in town. The banana was nice and quiet and we got some good selfies! Log was just pulp so unable to sign. TFTC

just to note, log is full**Find #1892**
It's been over 40 years since I have been here. It has changed a little from what I Remember. A nice easy find. The hard part is replacing the log.
Thanks **It's jono**

Couldn’t come here without finding this cache. Yes it is a micro not a small and the log is full. Squeezed our name on but full as me after lunch. Tftc and bringing me here
This is defs a micro. Took us longer than it should of. Heading home to Melbourne from commonwealth games.
As evident from all the photos here (which we’d seen after finding it), this cache is smaller than XS, but the hint and coordinates were both spot on. Logbook is completely full, so please find our “phlog” attached. Definitely no TB enclosed - it would never have fit!!?
Its Great to return to such an iconic place which i visited as a kid with my kids. Its very different to what i remember
