Kingaroy’s Big Peanut has made it as an official “Big Thing”, at least in the eyes of a special, limited edition Monopoly board game.<\/p>\n

In a split vote in January, South Burnett councillors voted 5-2 to spend about $14,000 to support a proposal by licensed games manufacturer Winning Moves to add Kingaroy’s Big Peanut to a new edition of the company’s “Big Things Australia” edition of Monopoly.<\/p>\n

In return, Council would receive 300 board games and Top Trumps card games – which will also feature the Big Peanut – which it could sell at Visitor Information Centres around the region to help to recoup the cost.<\/p>\n

Now, just in time for Christmas, the “Big Things Australia” board game ($59.95) and Top Trumps cards ($12.95) are available at South Burnett Regional Council’s visitor information centres, libraries and customer service counters.\u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cMonopoly has always been a loved family game and with our Big Peanut featured it is an ideal family Christmas present for visitors to our region,” Mayor Kathy Duff said.<\/p>\n

“This Monopoly edition can also be purchased and enjoyed by local families to proudly know that our region has one of the ‘Big Things’ that is being advertised to a much wider audience.\u201d<\/p>\n
