Wentworth Pioneer Museum

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.

Train Enthusiast's Video Diary 1989-08-18

On 18/08/1989, we visited Old Tailem Town a pioneer village museum located 5 km north of Tailem Bend, South Australia.

The village was established in 1982 and features buildings, transport, equipment and service systems (both commercial and domestic) used by the South Australian community from the late 19th century through to the mid 20th century.

The South Australian Railways is well represented with track work, carriages, trucks, and station/siding relics from the era.

HJ: ‘The real thing that has interested me during my time as an arts practitioner is to feel the essence of each discipline during the time of engagement. My kinesthetic sense, informed by my proprioceptive awareness, enables me the freedom to play during a performance. Natural and artificial design constraints influence my choice of adaptive strategies whilst interacting with semiotic elements during a performance.

A point of readiness exists when Eric and I engage in sound art. This in situ performance artwork is the culmination of progressive authorship, collated by institutions and individuals who have generously passed on their acquisitions, now evident in our current expressions of interest’.

Eric Demetriou and Herbert Jercher, collaborate in a sonic exploration of the Australian art of whip cracking; performing improvised music with various Australian stock whips, beat frequencies and drum implosions.

Eric Demetriou completed a Masters of Fine Art at the Victorian College of the Arts in 2013 and is a current artist in residence at Gertrude Contemporary. Recent solo exhibitions include: Sanaterrarium: performance art festival for frogs and crickets, Gertrude Glasshouse Gallery, (2017); An Afternoon with Herb Jercher, Lindberg Galleries (2016); Four minutes and thirty-three seconds in cat years, TCB Art inc (2015), and Flee Flu, West Space, (2014). Demetriou is an active member of Melbourne groups TBP, Germlock, and frequent collaborator with sound artist and whip cracker, Herbert Jercher.

Herbert Jercher is a sound artist and pioneer in the design of sound sculptures, installations and acoustic systems. His works embrace a wide range of contexts and needs, whether for school or community playground, foyers and atriums of shopping centres or hotels, the home garden, a city, street performance or museum courtyard. His works are environmentally friendly as well as fun to play and listen to.

Tailem Town Ghost Tours - Possible EVP Bells Emporium

Whilst Will and me were waiting for a tour to arrive we went into the Bells Emporium to do a bit of investigation work to fill in time. I never looked at the footage and it has sat gathering dust in my folder. Whilst looking for some footage for my new promo, within a few seconds I heard what appeared to be a male voice whispering over and after Will talks. There is only Will and me there. If it is an EVP we have no idea what it is saying... so thoughts?

Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.

Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain

If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using a bone conduction headphone, or a standard speaker instead of an earphone.
