NSW has the big banana, Queensland has the big pineapple and now Broome in Western Australia has its own 'big thing' to draw in the tourists.

Located in one of the town's pearl shops, it is the world's largest fine quality round pearl.

It was grown on the Cygnet Bay Pearl Farm about two-and-a-half hours drive north of Broome.

Farm manager James Brown says the pearl is over 22 millimetres in diameter, but unfortunately it's not for sale.
