The Big Orange is a must-visit attraction nestled in the charming town of Harvey, perfectly positioned halfway between Perth and Margaret River. This iconic structure stands proudly within a vast orange plantation, featuring a 10-metre tower topped with an additional 4-metre climb to reach the viewing platform inside the orange itself.
This unique attraction has become a favourite among families, with children particularly thrilled by the experience of being “actually inside an orange.” The viewing platform rewards visitors with sweeping views across the Harvey Fresh orchards, while the interior features fascinating displays and photographs chronicling Harvey’s rich history.
For the best experience, plan your visit during the orange season between June and October when the orchards are bursting with ripe fruit. However, even outside these months, the Big Orange remains an engaging attraction, though visitors in early months like March might find the surrounding oranges still sporting their green hues.
Access to this family-friendly destination is through the Harvey River Estate winery, where parents can enjoy wine tasting while facilities like toilets are readily available. The attraction operates seven days a week from 10am to 4pm (excluding major public holidays), and entry requires just a gold coin donation, which goes to support Telethon. Located at 163 Third St, Harvey WA, visitors are welcome to explore at their own pace, making it a perfect stop on any South West adventure.
