CBH Grain Bins

These massive white CBH Grain Bins are hard to miss, situated in the middle of the town. Thousands of tonnes of grain pass through here on the way to all parts of Australia and the rest of the world. You will no doubt see grain trucks on the roads transporting the wheat to be used for noodles, bread and other baked goods, canola for oil and barley for beer.

Settler’s Hall

The hall was built to be used as a school and was officially opened in 1915. It has been moved from its original position on Martin Street, where you can see a Memorial Stone, to its present setting. Over the years, the building served as a Hall, the Kent Road Board, a school and a church.

Salmon Gum

The log in the main street car park is all that remains of an historic salmon gum. You can see the enormous base of the trunk in the garden near the loggia. Lasting for over 100 years, it finally succumbed in 2009 and was lopped on advice from an arborist.
