The Mallee region in Victoria is known for its food and agriculture museums that showcase the history and cultural heritage of the area. Two prominent museums in the region are the Wimmera Mallee Pioneer Museum, which highlights the challenges and adaptations of farming pioneers, and the Woods' Heritage Museum in Rupanyup, which offers insight into the region's agricultural history and lifestyle.
Woods' Heritage Museum originated as a collection of agricultural machinery and household items on a family farm at Rupanyup South. As the collection grew, the museum was established to provide visitors with a deeper understanding of the region's agricultural heritage. Explore Rupanyup while visiting these museums, where you can find attractions like Rupanyup Living and Robyn's Food Van, offering a variety of dining options.
Moreover, the Mallee region is part of the Silo Art Trail, Australia's largest outdoor gallery spanning 700km and connecting small towns in the Wimmera Mallee. This trail provides a unique opportunity to delve into the local culture and history through impressive silo artworks.
