Central Mallee
BCA originally had a presence in the Mallee for the first half of the 20th Century and made a return to the region in 2010. The land has always been rugged for farming says ex-Mallee farmer, Ron Vine.“Considering it was all trees up to 100 years ago,” he says, “it’s taken a long time to mature up to the point it is today. In the last 10 years the Mallee has become the highest wheat growing land in all of Victoria.” The region features many small towns such as Patchewallock and Underbool.
Rev Helen Chick
Having previously provided pastoral support for the people of the Furneaux Group - the eastern group of islands between Tasmania and mainland Australia - Helen Chick now serves as the Enabler for the Central Mallee Parish in the Diocese of Bendigo, Victoria. Her home-base is Ouyen and her ministry takes her along the Mallee Highway as far as Murrayville (near the South Australian border). Helen is pleased at the chance to serve the people of the Mallee and hopes they will grow in their faith as did the people of the Furneaux.
