The Stick Shed, also known as the cathedral of the Wimmera, was officially designated the Murtoa No 1 Grain Store when it was built in 1942. At 265 metres long and 60 metres wide, it’s the size of two soccer fields. The roof is held up by 580 thin mountain ash poles, reaching a height of 19 metres.
