24.01.2022 This beautiful photo of the old Patchewollock general store is writer Adam McNicol's favourite photo from "The Mallee" book. It features in the postcard booklet and 2021 calendar too.

19.01.2022 That soft sunrise light is worth getting out of bed early for. It gives such a beautiful shine to the silos near Wycheproof. Mallee sunrises are stunning! Noel Butcher https://tenbagpress.com.au/book-shop/

18.01.2022 Phillips Street, Beulah has lots of beautiful old verandas, and the gorgeous Victoria Hotel is a little further along the street. The population of Beulah peaked in 1921 at 626 people, these days it's below 200. Erin Jonassen Sultana Girl https://tenbagpress.com.au/book-shop/

16.01.2022 It was so cool to see our second print run of 3000 copies roll off the production line at Marvel Bookbinding in Melbourne! All outstanding online orders will be posted on Monday. Our apologies to those people who've been waiting a while for their books. We had a couple of minor setbacks with the reprint but we're finally back in business. Stock will be replenished at a heap of post offices, newsagents, galleries and visitor centres in the Mallee and Wimmera on Monday and Tues...day. And there are still copies for sale in a range of bookshops in Victoria, South Australia and New South Wales. Thanks everyone for your amazing support!

16.01.2022 North Western Drive-in cinema near Birchip was open from 1965 to 1988. On weekends, there'd often be a queue of cars stretching back a kilometre or more along the road leading to the main entrance, as people travelled from surrounding towns such as Wycheproof, Donald and Sea Lake.

13.01.2022 ***UPDATE: Thanks everyone for your help! We now know the people in the photo are Stephen Parry (left) and Mervyn Donnellon. *** ORIGINAL POST: Photographer Andrew Chapman has been scanning some pictures from his archive and has discovered a few gems from the Mallee. But he's missing some key information. Can anyone help us identify the people in this picture taken near Beulah during harvest in 1989?

12.01.2022 Manangatang Cup Day 2019, Sophie Logan wins the final race of the day on Kingsgrove, watched by a crowd of approximately 3000 people. They can't even get that many punters in to Flemington today! Who is dressing up at home for "Fashions on Your Front Lawn" instead?! Jaime Murcia Photographer Manangatang Racing Club

10.01.2022 The railway line was extended from Watchupga to Woomelang in 1899, but the line only carries freight trains these days, so the Woomelang station is no longer used. More Mallee train station photos will be posted on our Instagram page next week, follow us there: https://www.instagram.com/themalleebook/ Jaime Murcia Photographer ... https://tenbagpress.com.au/book-shop/

09.01.2022 It's the end of the line... farewell, 2020! A huge THANK YOU to everyone who has made "The Mallee" a success: we are very appreciative of every like, share and purchase you've made.

06.01.2022 A reminder for everyone on the roads during the summer holidays: "Speed Kills".

03.01.2022 The inscription on the statue on Guthrie Street Quambatook reads: "Lest We Forget Erected in memory of our soldiers Who paid the supreme sacrifice ... For the Empire In the Great War 1914 - 1919" So many Mallee people will be remembered today for their contributions and sacrifices. Lest we forget. Noel Butcher
