About
Squeeze into the Big Orange of Berri--a massive 15-metre-tall, 12-metre-diameter citrus sensation celebrating the Riverland region's world-famous fruit-growing heritage! This 85-tonne fibreglass marvel stands as a permanent tribute to the millions of oranges harvested across South Australia's most productive agricultural district. Originally featuring a 360-degree viewing platform (though access has been limited in recent years), this juicy roadside monument was built to showcase Berri's role in producing roughly 50% of South Australia's citrus exports. The sculpture has become an iconic landmark for travellers crossing the Murray River region, offering the perfect photo opportunity for anyone heading toward Adelaide or exploring South Australia's agricultural heritage. This Big Thing represents the Riverland's economic importance and the pride locals take in growing the nation's finest oranges, making it a meaningful stop on any road trip through Australia's fruit basket.
Fun Fact
The Riverland region produces approximately 50% of South Australia's entire orange crop. A single orange tree can live productively for 100 years and yield up to 60kg of fruit annually. That's enough juice for countless glasses of fresh orange juice!
