While travelling up to the Manangatang centenary for a quick day trip I captured these images which I think are quintessentially Mallee. The Mallee Wimmera region is Victoria's outback. There is salt flats.

In good years you see these Paddy melons on red sandy soil in mallee scrub by the road. Paddy melons are also called Wild melon, Afghan melon and the Bastard melon amongst other things. They have no use save throwing them at your siblings.

This Buloke Shire Council truck has been here in a ditch surrounded by Mallee scrub and Saltbush as long as I can remember. It looks like it got bogged and they could not get it out, so just left it there.
