Murtoa Stick Shed
Historically known as the Number 1 Emergency Grain Store. Originally a large grain store and is now a disused wooden silo in Murtoa made available for visiting tourists. Located beside the railway to service western Victoria's wheatbelt. Some thirty km from Horsham.
Mountain Ash Hardwood
Timber Pole Construction
Five hundred and sixty poles, up to 80-foot-long, went into constructing the cathedral like building.
The Murtoa Stick Shed, as it is now known is:
870 feet long or about 265 metres
198 feet wide or about 60 metres
62 feet 10 inches or about 19 metres high at the ridge
Covering an area of 170,000 square feet. Full capacity in days gone by was 3.4 million bushels or 95,000 tonnes.
Expect to spend twice as long as planned to walk the shed. It's much larger inside than you think. Don't get stuck for time.
