Silo Art Trail

Since 2015, disused grain silos across the Mallee and Wimmera have been turned into some of the largest street art in the world — larger-than-life portraits of local farmers, families and Traditional Owners painted straight onto the steel. It's one of regional Victoria's biggest drawcards, and free to visit at any time.

Coordinates are approximate town locations for orientation, not driving directions. Details are drawn from published accounts of the Australian Silo Art Trail — confirm current opening info and any new additions at siloarttrail.com.au before travelling.
