Road Trip Along The Silo Art Trail
Australia’s Silo Art Trail consists of giant portraits painted on grain silos spreading over 200km in rural Australia. To explore this tremendous display of enigmatic portraits, you need to venture four hours away from Melbourne. This giant size open-air art gallery is quite the experience; it’s a display of life in this farming region of Australia, giving great insight into the challenges and hardships the rurals face as well as their triumphs.
A road trip along this trail will introduce you not only to the country’s biggest outdoor art gallery but also to local culture in the small towns and rural communities along the trail. Discover the work of international artists like Julia Volchkova from Russia and street artists from around the world such as Guido van Helten, David Lee Pereira, Fintan Magee, Geoffrey Carran, Matt Adnate, The Zookeeper, Smug, Drapl, and many more. Celebrate the local heritage in towns like Sea Lake, Sheep Hills, Patchewollock, Nullawil, Rosebery, Goroke, or Rupanyup, with a population of just 344.
The Silo Art Trail extends west to Kaniva and Goroke, where you can see an immense mural representing a falcon flying between two vibrant orchids, or depictions of anonymous, local farmers, a young girl swinging from a eucalyptus tree, and many other fascinating paintings.
