Analysis of Stack Overflow's Survey of 10K develop...
When I was in Geelong bananas were $12/kg, and in Atlanta they were around $0.50/lb. Other produce seemed quite expensive, also.

Was this sometime after the Queensland flooding? Bananas from a major supermarket are now between $3 and $6 per kg depending on the kind, but it did spike for a period due to the flooding damaging crops I believe.
