Bananas aren't normally this expensive in Australia!  The majority of bananas are grown in Queensland and many plantations were severely damaged in a cyclone so less on the market and prices through the roof. Banana palms growing back now so hopefully cheaper bananas on the way!

As Fiona says, it's due to extreme weather conditions that our bananas are so $$$$$... And, to add insult to injury, the other area where bananas are grown was also flooded - Carnavon in WA!

Like Katya, never seen Aussie bananas in the UK.  Most of the ones I get are Fair Trade ones from Central America or Ecuador / Colombia.  Depending on where you buy them they can range from about £1 for 5 smallish ones to £2 for 5 large ones.
