Silo Art Trail

The Silo Art Trail starts at Rupanyup and finishes 200 km north at Patchowollock and its web site provides more detail of the Artwork.  We started in the north and finished at Rupanyup.

Another pleasant drive through country Victoria travelling through little towns - Lalbert, Culgod, Berriwillock, Woomelang and stopping at Lascelles for our first Silo Art for the day.

Brim Silo Art lit up at night

Stayed the night at Paddy's Park in Brim - nice bush setting with a lake.  I rode my bike back to the Brim Silo's at night to photograph the silo's all lit up - quite a spectacular sight.

Next morning drove through Warracknabeal and onto Sheep Hills Silo Art which depicts members of the Barengi Gadjin community, including local Elders Uncle Ron Marks, Aunty Regina Hood and two younger members of the community.

Last Silo we visited today was in Rupanyup - the work captures the spirit of the community and provides an accurate insight into rural youth culture.  The featured faces are those of Rupanyup residents and local sporting team members, Ebony Baker and Jordan Weidemann.
