Darraweit Guim
What Darraweit Guim needs from a system.
Darraweit Guim sits on Deep Creek on the far side of the Macedon Ranges Shire, near the boundary with Mitchell Shire, about 53 kilometres from Melbourne and thirteen from Kilmore. Its bluestone Uniting Church and Toll Bar Corner, where early settlement began, mark its history.
Deep Creek is prone to winter flooding and the area has a history of bushfire, so the same sensible planning applies to the equipment as to the house: keep the battery and inverter above flood level, clear of long grass and easy to isolate. At about 306 metres it is lower and warmer than the ranges, so summer heat is a design point as well.
