Sunraysia, based in Mildura, was part of the Lucas Group, which included Warrnambool Bus Lines, Portland Bus Lines and South West Roadways miles away in south west Victoria. The Mildura operations passed to Buslink and traded as Buslink Sunraysia, acquiring Broken Hill's Murton's City Bus remnamed Buslink Broken Hill. The Buslink group was acquired by Singapore based CDC and in consequence the Sunraysia operations now trade under the name of CDC Mildura.
