Adjacent to the Penong Caravan Park lies a barren, sparse terrain that is home to the Penong Windmill Museum, boasting an impressive collection of 26 windmills, all fully functional. Amongst them stands Bruce, reputed to be the largest windmill in all of Australia.

These windmills have journeyed from distant locations, with some originating from the vast expanses of Anna Creek Station, known as the world’s largest cattle ranch.

Surprisingly, the museum is not a tranquil retreat; rather, it is filled with the clamorous symphony of these mechanical marvels. The windmills, composed primarily of metal components, emit a symphony of squeaks and groans as they operate. This cacophony is further enhanced by the nearby presence of galahs, who add their distinctive calls to the ambient soundscape.

Outside the Museum are a number of privately owned windmills supplying houses and farms with water from the Anjutabie Basin.
