A snapshot of the historical buildings in this small town in Western Victoria, the 'heart of the wheat belt'.
First up is the former Holden dealership. The faded signage on the facade and peeling paint on the old timber doors give a wonderful first impression of the town.
This grand home was once a bank...
The Post Office - built around 1901.
Country pubs are always worth a look. Styles vary from Gothic, to Federation to Deco - all have wonderful architectural charms. Those big ol' verandahs, wrought iron, leadlight windows and who doesn't love a gargoyle, right?
Commercial Hotel - 1908
Majestic Hotel - 1908
Beautiful murals depicting the local landmarks, painted by local school children.


Not just home to beautiful old buildings, the town was once a tv star. Back in the 1980's, Minyip played the part of 'Coopers Crossing' on The Flying Doctors.
