As of May 19, 2018 there are 20 painted silos across Australia. With their growing popularity, I'm sure there will be more in the very near future.

The Australian Silo Art Trail - Ep.33
Our track down to Melbourne.
Well, after Renmark, we crossed our third state border! ???? We trekked east and down to Werrimull Hotel, to celebrate with a mid-morning beer. Fun Fact: Werrimull is Victoria’s most outback pub. ???? After polishing off our schooner, we continued on to Curlwaa Caravan Park, to set up for 2 nights so we could explore the surrounds.
Technically we were actually just inside of NSW but we aren’t classing this as one of our border crossings. ???? Our first stop for the day was out to the Perry Sandhills,. It felt like we were back in the Simpson dessert here, all the red sand hills were magnificent. If you ever visit, look for the monster gum tree which has been buried beneath all the sand. ????
We then trekked back into Wentworth, to get some history lessons. Visiting both the Wentworth Pioneer Museum and the old historic Wentworth Gaol. It only cost us $13 each to visit both and have a good wander around. The gaol was a definite highlight, we’d never seen an old ‘gaol’ ???? & it was still in amazing condition considering its age. We then drove down and had a peak at the junction of the Murray river and the Darling Downs.
Before returning to camp, we swung into ‘The Big V Industries Auto Museum’ ???? for a look around. If you have a love for cars, then it is definitely worth the $5 entry to see some absolute classics. A relatively new museum, the owner said he is always trying to improve his displays and add vehicles to the collection, where he can.
Temperatures ???? during the day were still pretty hot and with an approaching heatwave coming (40’+ days), we made tracks to Mildura. We opted to stay at the Buronga-Riverside Caravan Park, which turned out be a great choice. It was the most dog friendly ???? van park we had stayed at - all trip! They had a free dog bath onsite as well as a FREE dedicated washing machine to wash any pet blankets/beds etc. It was a great park with plenty on offer. Two different swimming pools, a few farm animals, it backed right onto the Murray river and was a well laid out park. There were numerous ducks and geese wandering the grounds, some would even talk back to us. ????????
After a blissful 5 night stay, we continued on our journey. We tracked south and eventually made it to Patchewollock – and saw our first silo painting! ???? Just down the road, we found a great free camp at Lake Lascelles. A great spot for an overnight spot. ⛺️ The next day, we continued the drive south and checked out all the other Silo paintings on the trail.
We visited 5/6 silo’s, on the Silo Art Trail.
Patchewollock, Rosebery, Brim, Sheep Hills & Rupanyup. We missed Lascelle’s on this trip.
So after seeing the Silo Art Trail, we cut straight east to Kooyoora State Park. We camped at the Melville Caves designated camp site for 2 nights. ⛺️ This was a free camp - winning. Surprisingly dogs were welcome in the state park and allowed at the campsite (on leash, of course). ???? We trekked up to the Melville Caves at sunset, which was only a short walk from camp.
30km south we headed to Mount Alexander Koala Park to camp. What a gem of a spot this was. So nice and peaceful, a free camp, plenty of shade, dogs allowed, flushing toilets and fire pits ???? around the grounds.
It was the Australia day weekend, so we just bunkered down here for a few nights, as we knew everywhere would be busy. We did venture down the road to a local swimming hole for a dip & fish ????. Kurt caught a few red-fin fish while we splashed about with some beers in hands. A nice chilled arvo.
After the mad rush of the long weekend was over, we headed into Maldon, for 2 nights. We stayed at the Maldon Caravan Park and used this as a base ???? while we explored the surrounds. We checked out Maldon’s old British ruins, the Mt Tarrengower lookout, the old dredge and walked along the old streets. It definitely feels like a step back in time in this place. Everyone was so helpful and inviting which made our time here more enjoyable.
We were edging so close to Melbourne, being only 75 minutes north. We had made plans for the coming week with I (Amz) booked to go home for the weekend to see family & friends, while Kurt agreed to baby sit Rusty and have some ‘kurt time’ (fishing???? & gaming galore????).
Before tracking into Melbourne to set up, we did visit ‘The Cascades’ at Coliban River and visited Turpins Falls on the journey down.

Rebuilding Rupanyup
Rupanyup, a small town in Victoria's Wimmera region, has big plans for the future.
Silo Art Trail, Outback Australian Country Towns, Lake Tyrell Salt Lake, Painted Aussie Silos - OFMD
You’ve just got to do this trip.
It’s capable of being done in two days from Melbourne and probably the same from Adelaide.
The trip is through the Wimmera Mallee region of Australia and takes in the famous Salt Lakes plus the well travelled Victorian Silo Trail.
Now, it can be done in a single weekend, but better still, take a few days, and you will start to develop a deeper appreciation of the wonders of outback country Australia.
Check Google for plenty of sunset type pics at Lake Tyrell

We were driving from Inverell back to Central Coast. And what we have seen... It was a miracle. A Little bit of hope in the middle of nowhere
Australia is one of the most beautiful countries in the World. We are very lucky to live here and film around this incredible part of the world.

Silo Art Trail Victoria, Australia. Rupanyup - Patchewollock
Silo Art Trail, Victoria, Australia
The Silo Art Trail celebrates regional Australia in a modern and accessible artistic context. The silos have been strategically selected for maximum visual impact and to ensure visitors have the opportunity to engage with multiple communities and outback tourism destinations in the Wimmera and Mallee region.
Historically, silos are a place for the farming communities to come together during harvest, exchange news and stories and re-connect with old friends while the grain is unloaded. Of late, changes in the agricultural industry have led to many communities losing active silo sites. The Silo Art Trail has provided an opportunity to reinvigorate decommissioned sites and celebrate local communities and farming history.
Brim
Guido Van Helten captured the imagination of Australia in December 2015 when he undertook a gigantic painting on the Brim Silos. The Brim Silo Art generated inspiration for the Silo Art Trail and Guido's mural will remain an iconic tribute to the farming communities of the Wimmera and Mallee region.
Rupanyup
Russian Artist Julia Volchkova is actively involved in the graffiti and street art movement in the places she travels and is currently undertaking the huge metal grain storage bins in Rupanyup as part of the Silo Art Trail. Julia's work focuses on portraits and the Rupanyup Silo Art mural is inspired by the Rupanyup Panthers Football & Netball Club.
Sheep Hills
Adnate is an internationally renowned street artist, famous for his work with Aboriginal communities across Australia and completed the mural in December 2016. The four indigenous faces now watch over the tiny community of Sheep Hills and the starry background of the towering portraits has symbolic significance to the local people.
Another 3 are due and we shall return once all complete.

AUSTRALIA SILO ART TRAIL
Recently I went for a road trip to the middle of Victoria to check out the epic Silo Art Trail. We started the trip by visiting Australia's largest Grain Store at Murtoa and capped it off with an even more amazing place called, Lake Tyrell - a salt lake!
What is Silo Trail?
The Silo Art Trail is Australia’s largest outdoor gallery. The trail stretches over 200 kilometres, linking Brim with neighbouring towns Lascelles, Patchewollock, Rosebery, Rupanyup and Sheep Hills.
Providing an insight into the true spirit of the Wimmera Mallee, the trail recognises and celebrates the region’s people through a series of large-scale mural portraits painted onto grain silos, many of which date back to the 1930s.
The project saw a team of renowned artists from Australia and across the world visit the region, meet the locals and transform each grain silo into an epic work of art; each one telling a unique story about the host town.
The Silo Art Trail was conceived in 2016 after the success of the first silo artwork in Brim. What started as a small community project by the Brim Active Community Group, GrainCorp, Juddy Roller and artist, Guido van Helten resulted in widespread international media attention and an influx of visitors to the region and the idea for a trail was born.

Murtoa Grain Store:
Built in 1941, is the largest rustically-built structure in the world. It is currently under protection from Heritage Victoria (since 1992), and is noted in the Australian heritage listings for many, and varied, excellent reasons. Principally, its construction method is unique to Australia, and it also represents a huge leap forward in the handling of harvested crops, with the monumental change from bags to bulk handling.
