To the south is the the village of Callawada, which has sveral historical sites. The most important is the 'tin shed' which was the Hemley's Soft Drink Factory, which ran up until the early 1990s. I remember the old days, when I would watch the Hemley truck pull up at my neighbours house in Stawell and drop off her weekly crate of softdrink. The crates were also an easy way to cater for birthday parties and other functions.
To the north is Marnoo, the former home to agricultural wealth. there is a 'museum' in the main street which proudly displays the the former greatness of the region.
