Australia: Monster crop of avacados

The Cominos have been growing avocados for more than two decades but they've never seen them like this before.

This year they're marvelling at their size.

Most fruit comes in at 140-340g, according to Avocados Australia but the Sunnybank Hills family's produce weighs just under 1kg.

Nobody can confirm whether it's an Australian record but Mrs Comino, 79, doesn't care. They're going to be eaten.

``We will eat them, give them to all my friends,'' she said. ``Everyone loves them.''
Chris Sheedy, from Guinness World Records, said the world's largest avocado was grown by Gabriel Remirez Nahim of Venezuela, weighing in at 2.19kg last year.
