The Mallee: A journey through north-west Victoria

The Mallee Book

We were honoured to feature in “The Mallee”, a book that captures life in the small towns of north west Victoria, the farms that surround them and the growing interest in tourism in the area. It’s a brilliant book, with stunning images taken by five renowned documentary photographers.

I settled down on a rainy day and read it from cover to cover, learning about the interesting history of the area. Local lad, Adam McNicol, writes beautifully and includes personal anecdotes from his time spent growing up on a farm in Manangatang, making it quite moving to read.

The Mallee book is sitting on the coffee table in our accommodation, “The Roost”, so if there happened to be a rainy day on your trip (or more likely if it was too hot to venture out in the middle of the day) you’ll have great reading material! Otherwise you can buy it online at Ten Bag Press.

Cheers,

Louise.
