Ouyen, Administrative center in Rural City of Mildura, Australia.

Ouyen stands at the meeting point of Calder and Mallee Highways, 441 kilometers northwest of Melbourne in Victoria's agricultural region.

The railway station construction in 1906 established this settlement, leading to the development of 640 acres of farming blocks for agricultural purposes.

The name originates from Wergaia Aboriginal language, with interpretations suggesting connections to pink-eared ducks or water sources in the region.

The town maintains Victoria's sixth largest Livestock Exchange, processing over 250,000 sheep and lambs yearly through its agricultural facilities.

Blackburn Park Recreation Reserve contains Australia's largest Mallee stump, representing the native eucalypt vegetation that once covered the region.
