The Stick Shed, Murtoa, 1940s. From https://www.thestickshed.com.au/  "The Stick shed is a grain storage facility known as Murtoa No. 1 Grain Store. It was built over four months between September 1941 and January 1942 and filled with grain within six months of construction. It was the first emergency bulk wheat storage shed built in Victoria and is the only remaining shed of this type in Australia."

Stick Shed - Murtoa, Australia

Originally built as a war-time emergency grain storage in 1941, this unique structure has become a memorial to Aussie ingenuity and the local farming community.

It was constructed using over 560 natural mountain ash poles and is 270m in length. Soaring to 19m in height and a width of 60m, it gives the impression of a vast forest inside, and the sheer volume of this empty building, given its bush-style construction methods, is overwhelming.
