[1] As with most towns in the Mallee region, the main industry is dryland agriculture and woolgrowing.

Due to wartime shortages, the shed is made of compacted kerosene tins.

[10] In 1934, Woomelang FC defeated Lascelles in the Mallee Football League preliminary final,[11] but lost the 1934 grand final to Gorya[12] and in 1935, Woomelang won the North Central Football League premiership.

In 1940 Woomelang defeated Hopetoun in the Southern Mallee Football League grand final.
