Big Orange

Big Orange is a towering concrete and steel structure shaped like a giant citrus fruit that dominates the roadside landscape of the Riverland region. The building includes an observation platform at the top and informational displays about the local citrus farming and fruit production industry.

The monument was built and inaugurated in 1980 as a landmark celebrating the region's long history of citrus production. It has remained a symbol of the agricultural foundation that shaped the Berri Barmera area.

The structure reflects the region's deep connection to citrus farming through its prominent roadside presence and local pride in this agricultural heritage. Visitors witness how the orange has become a symbol of community identity and economic foundation for the area.

The site is easy to reach by car and sits right along a main road for quick stops. Climbing to the observation platform is possible but involves steep stairs and rewards visitors with expansive views of the farming landscape.

A 2018 proposal suggested converting this inactive agricultural landmark into an entertainment venue with family attractions and community events. The plan reflects the community's desire to keep this historic roadside structure alive and engaging for future visitors.
