Wychitella

Wychitella is a rural village on the railway line from Wedderburn Junction to Charlton. It is 17 km north of Wedderburn, and is separated from that town by low ranges which include the Wychitella Flora and Fauna reserve.

During the mid-1870s farm selections became available in the Wychitella district. A school was opened in 1876 in a mechanics’ institute building, and a second school, Wychitella North, was opened in 1879. The township was surveyed in 1878. There were Presbyterian and Catholic churches by the 1880s.
