Mildura becomes home of the Big Sultana

Key points

• A 5.25-metre fibreglass sultana sculpture has been unveiled on Mildura's riverfront in Victoria's north-west. The Big Sultana was built over 13 weeks to mark 100 years of dried fruit production in the Sunraysia region.
• It sits opposite Ornamental Lakes Park and features a beaming smile, which Sunbeam says is meant to bring a bit of fun.
• Local leaders say it will appeal to families and tell the story of the region's agricultural history.
