Buy a slice of Australia

This weekend we are celebrating Australia Day – the day marking the arrival of the First Fleet from Britain.

January 26 is a day of citizenship ceremonies, awards, parties and barbecues. And it’s also when we reflect on all things uniquely Australian.

As such, today we bring you some commercial properties for sale across the nation – the likes of which you are unlikely to find anywhere else.

How much more Australian can you get than an underground opal shop in Coober Pedy?

The town is known as the opal capital of the world and is known for its underground houses and businesses.

The retail area of this property sits under the ground, along with an office/staff room area. Up above is a secured workshop and parking for eight cars.

Australia is also known for being the home of all things Big. The Big Pineapple. The Big Prawn. The Big Merino. The Big Trout (there’s two of them).

Well you now have the Big Olive.

And if that isn’t big enough for you, how about leasing some retail space inside one of the nation’s iconic big things, the Big Banana in Coffs Harbour.

It includes about 180sqm retail space above the “Candy Kitchen”.

But for many of us, Australia Day is about getting away from it all with family and friends. Camping, perhaps.

What could be more Aussie than camping at the Billabong caravan park, hotel and motel in Shark Bay, WA.
