Before 1900, hardly anyone lived here, there ain't many more now, I guess it's real haydays was the 20's to the 80's. At the turn of the century they built railroads, that enabled settlement and land clearing. The following years saw sheep and grain farming in good years or record droughts in bad years. Life here is hard, and by the 80's governments were cutting back on services which has lead to the hollowing out of many once busy towns. The place has always been boom and bust, and at the moment its doing both at the same time.   

           Quambatook, Sea Lake, Patchewollock, and Manangatang, quite often these places only have a Grain Silo, a rail line, and a well maintained war memorial. Whether they enlisted  for King and Country, an adventure, or just the only way out of here, their towns remember them. If you are really lucky there  will be a bakery and a pub. For some reason the Mallee seems to have the best Snot Block makers in the world. Otherwize Lake Tyrrell is an unlikely chinese tourist hit. Number two is the painted silos at Brim, Three climb the 43 meter My Wycheproof and you have pretty much covered the tourist attractions.
          Recent rain has enabled the local farmers to plant huge paddocks of grain as far as the eye can see. Now and again we would pass a machinery yard full of huge tractors, and new headers just waiting for the bank manager to approve the loan. If only it would stop raining, all they want at the moment is sunshine to ripen the wheat. The further you get off the main road we got, the more interesting stuff we'd find. Abandoned WW11 tanks, Old custom houses, bargain real estate, who knows what else is out there.
