Silo Art Trail

The Silo Art Trail links painted grain silos in the Wimmera and Mallee, from Rupanyup north to Patchewollock, about 190 km in all. The murals at Rupanyup, Sheep Hills, Brim, Rosebery, Lascelles and Patchewollock are big enough to see from the road. Distances between towns are long and the country is flat wheat and mallee, so it suits a slow, quiet day or two.
