The Big Strawberry, Victoria – Australia’s Big Things
Australia’s Big Things are a must see on any family road trip, so you certainly shouldn’t miss the sweetest of them all – The Big Strawberry!
Tucked away on the New South Wales/Victoria border near Cobram and the stunning Murray River you’ll find one of the sweetest big things around.
The Big Strawberry at Koonoomoo is a three hour drive from Melbourne, or one hour, forty minute drive from the Hume Highway at Albury, NSW.
There isn’t just a big strawberry here – there’s actually a whole strawberry experience!

The Big Strawberry rightly takes pride of place out front of a large complex made up of everything that could satisfy your strawberry desires.
A real-life strawberry crop is situated opposite the main building, with row upon row of shaded strawberry plants. For a charge, you can even go strawberry picking.
Whilst posing for the obligatory big-thing family photo out front is hilarious, the real fun here is waiting for you inside – prepare to be confronted with everything strawberry.
Inside strawberry lovers will find a huge combined cafe/restaurant, museum, indoor playground, Man Cave & strawberry-themed shop.
From tea pots to puppets, jam to strawberry wine, this shop is a mecca for all strawberry lovers.
Order from a fun selection of strawberry treats from the cafe such as their famous strawberry pancakes. Don’t forget to wash it all down with a strawberry slider of course!
The Big Strawberry proprietors are very welcoming, and you can even camp here for the night in your caravan or camper. Powered sites are available at the rear of the car park , and if you spend a minimum of $10 in the shop, camping is free!
The Big Strawberry is a rural Victorian tourism treasure to detour towards on your next NSW road trip.
