Silo Art is the name given to the practice of painting murals on grain silos.
I can't find any reference to this practice outside Australia (but I might be wrong).
The first silo was painted at Northam in Western Australia in 2015.
There are now 35 across the country and 60 water towers have been added to the collection.
The ones posted below are in the Goulburn Valley of Victoria, all in very small towns about 15-20 minutes apart.
Tungamah - painted in 2018, the first in this area, first one painted by a woman, 60 litres of paint and 142 spray cans.
The pink and grey bird is a Galah and the brown one is a Cockatoo.
Devenish - a tribute to the servicemen and women from the district - WW1 nurse and current military medic and a member of the famous Australian Light Horse from WW1.
St James - Two local brothers sewing up bags of wheat, and GJ Coles born in St James and the founder of the Coles retail chain.
St James again - the first motorised delivery to the silo - 135,000 bags of wheat stacked in the background
Goorambat - Barking Owl, local fauna but now endangered
Goorambat again - working Clydesdales, the centre one winner of many championships, two born in Goorambat and now working in Toowoomba Queensland - the third one sired by the centre one on the property where they are working.
