Penong Windmill Museum

A tribute to the farmers whirling workhorse that has nowadays been mostly replaced by solar panels, the outdoor museum at the side of the National Highway One features a unique collection of around 20 donated and restored windmills collected from as far away as Marla, the Riverland and Alice Springs. They’re always working on adding more to this display with restoration work being performed by community volunteers such as long time residents Bob Oats and Tim Hardy.

It’s proven to be a popular tourist attraction with over 40,000 visitors in its first year, and is now regularly attracting 100 patrons on a good day.
