Coffs set to go bananas for world record attempt

HUNDREDS of locals are set to gather at Jetty Beach on Saturday, 11 April, attempting a world record for the largest banana formation made by people.

Attendees will form a giant human banana on the sand in a playful celebration of the region’s banana-growing heritage.

The event, to be hosted by Channel Nine’s Jane DeGraaff and Coffs Harbour Mayor Nikki Williams, is part of a community push to support Coffs in the NSW Top Tourism Town Awards.

“Coffs Harbour has brought joy to visitors for generations, and today we’re also emerging as a hub for major events, tourism and new industries and a vibrant, liveable city,” Mayor Williams said.

“Our community loves this town and we want to see it continue to thrive.

“Tourism plays a vital role in our local economy, supporting jobs, small businesses and the future of our region.”
