On road trips between NSW and Queensland, few people do not stop in front of "Big Banana (The Big Banana)", the (Coffs Harbour) landmark in Port Cofus.
Today, as many tourists and motorists look for the yellow landmark, they are surprised to find that "Big Banana" has turned black, according to Australian News.
The discoloration campaign, sponsored by Foodbank, Australia`s largest food relief agency, aims to raise public awareness of hunger in Australia.
Kathy (Brianna Casey), chief executive of Foodbank Australia, said: "people in our country like its huge landmarks, including the big pineapple (Big Pineapple), the big strawberry (Big Strawberry), and the big mango (Big Mango),. At the same time, we also have a big problem that needs to be solved urgently-National Hunger. "
According to the Foodbank`s annual Hunger report (Hunger Report), more and more Australians are starving every day, especially in remote and rural areas. Overall, about 4 million Australian residents are experiencing different forms of food insecurity. More than three-quarters of Australians cut their diet because they did not have enough money or resources to get food.
Foodbank provides food to seven hundred and ten thousand residents a month, but still can`t meet all the people in need.
