Chinchilla wins the big melon

Chinchilla was the fan favourite and official winner of WOTIF's Next Big Thing campaign announced this week, with the Queensland town unveiling a big melon on Wednesday, weighing four tonnes and spanning nine metres in width.

The huge melon will also promote next year’s MelonFest, the biennial celebration of everything to do with watermelons and provide people with another reason to visit the region.
