Murtoa This town lies on the edge of Lake Marma, a small but scenic lake stocked with trout and redfin. The Water Tower Museum (open Sun) displays the history of the area as well as James Hill's 1885–1930 taxidermy collection of some 500 birds and animals. On the eastern side of town, among the grain silos, is an unusual relic called the Stick Shed. The roof of this now empty storage shed is held up with 640 unmilled tree trunks, and the interior is an evocative sight. An open day once a year in Oct allows access. 31 km NE.
