Banana trees. We grow them here in Florida, but we don’t stay warm enough so they drop their leaves in the winter, then bounce back good as new in the spring.

As the only Australian who seems to reply, yes it is a Banana plantation. The Banana bunches are covered to facilitate growing as well as stopping Flying Foxes – also called Fruit Bats – and other birds from eating the bananas.
Here’s a bit about Flying Foxes
