☀️ The sun is shining, the birds are singing, and the Stick Shed is looking pretty spectacular today.

Sometimes you just need to slow down, breathe in the fresh air and take a moment to experience this incredible place.

Come and wander beneath the mountain ash poles, listen to the birds and experience the magic of the Stick Shed for yourself.

If you listen carefully enough, you may hear the eastern banjo frog which is commonly called a Pobblebonk

The day the premier almost visited the Stick Shed.

With thanks to Ben Fraser editor Wimmera-Mail Times we’ve been given access to their photo library and we are finding gems which we’ll share later… keep reading the paper… this shows how the shed was seen in 1984.

The premier of the Vic John Cain visited the site in Jan 1984 was shown everything on the site … that’s based on the photos taken…… except the Stick Shed which featured in the background of one photo…. This one..,.

We’ve noticed some poles that don’t look “right” are they even Mountain Ash?
We’ve found about 8 so far mainly in the middle aisle key differences.
Clearly the concrete around their base has been disturbed suggesting they are later arrivals than the original build.
They have markings that look a bit like chainsaw scars and a distinctive metal support going into the ground.
One has a “70s” metal drum repair.
Does anyone know anything about this?
