Murtoa Stick Shed VIC Australia

Travelled: 51km from Plantation Campground to Taylors Lake.

Stay: Taylors Lake camp ground - free with toilets, has boat ramp and jetty.

We didn’t get very far up the highway before we turned off again and decided to camp on the shores of Lake Taylor. 

We were surprised to only see one pelican, may be the fishing isn’t so great, although one fisherman thought it was worth the effort of getting his boat in.

The blossom in the trees attracted the bees

After a short walk along the lake we played petanque. Let the challenge begin! 

The next morning we set off to Horsham to fill up the fridge then to Murtoa we went. The main attraction that brought us here is The Stick Shed. There is a lot of interesting information about this place, but essentially it is a huge grain store built in 1941 which is impressive to see. Made from 560 unmilled poles and is 19m tall, 60m wide and 270m long. Check out www.thestickshed.com.au for heaps more info. Open everyday between 10am-2pm $10 pp.
