Okay, I really don’t know who came up with this snappy title for these silos, but I’m guessing it’s something to do with capacity – 1,000,000 bushels = approx 33,000 tonnes. These are multi-cell cylindrical steel, fully welded storage bins equipped only for road receivals, and situated in areas of high yield. These units also act as receiving centres by taking wheat from outside the locally defined area. These units, of 14 cells, have a capacity of 29,000 tonnes, with receival capacity of 360 tph, and outloading capability of only 120tph. These units are located at Dookie, Quambatook, Ultima, Wycheproof, Beulah, Marmalake and Boort. Yarrawonga is capable of receiving at 360 tph and outloading at 200 tph. Berriwillock is capable of receiving and outloading at 400 tonnes per hour. Donald is equipped with 16 cells with a total capacity of 33,700 tonnes and receives grain at 360 tph with an outloading rate of 120 tonnes per hour.
