Stick Shed was Big

The Stick Shed opening during Murtoa's Big Weekend was a huge success with more than 1,250 people taking the opportunity to go inside. Unfortunately if you couldn't visit on the 2nd October, you need to wait till next year, as the site is again closed to the public - mark it in your diaries! 
The Stick Shed exterior
The roof and walls of the Stick Shed are made of corrugated iron painted ferric red, the floor is a concrete slab, and a three metre wooden bulkhead runs along either side. The roof angle reflects ‘the natural angle of repose’ of stacked bulk grain.
