The Forest Sky Pier is a spectacular architectural feature providing the panoramic views over the Coffs Coast and Hinterland. Cantilevered off the edge of Sealy Lookout in Orara East State Forest, the Forest Sky Pier projects 22 metres out over rainforest, 15 metres above the forest canopy. The Forest Sky Pier is a 5-10 minute drive off the Pacific Highway through banana plantations and forest, taking in amazing views as you travel up the hill side. It's a must-see destination for the North Coast.

In 1964 John Landi wanted something to make passing traffic stop at his road side banana stall. He had heard of a "Big Pineapple" in Hawaii and thought that something big would definitely stop traffic. With assistance of 1200 pounds and local engineer, Alan Chapman, The Big Banana could become a reality. Builder Alan Harvey started the construction in September 1964 and the biggest banana in the world and Australia's first "Big Thing" was officially opened on December 22 that year. The Big Banana now boasts the biggest Water Park between Sydney & the Gold Coast, an Ice Skating Rink, Toboggan Ride, "The World of Bananas" theatre and tour experience, state-of-the-art Laser Tag arena, 36 hole Mini Golf Course, the biggest Giant Slide in the country known as "The Racer", Go Bananas Fun Zone, 4D Ride Simulator, Gift Shop, Going Bananas Cafe, Candy Making Kitchen, Opal Centre, Cheesemaking Workshop and Steve McEwans Reptile World. The Big Banana Fun Park, "It's a Whole Bunch of Fun!"
