Pineapple Throwing at the Pineapple Hotel

Overview

Who doesn't want to fling some tropical fruit around on a public holiday? It's a strange concept, we know — and one that's exactly as silly and simple as it sounds — however this day seems to not only embrace tradition, but novelty.

Of course, when it comes to throwing pineapples, there's only one iconic, 131-year-old venue for it. Head to one of Kangaroo Point's finest, enjoy the other Australia Day merriment (including pub food, brews and the Hottest 100), and then try your luck in the 11th annual competition. The winner won't just receive bragging rights, but $750 for their efforts.
