SILO-SIZED STREET ART IN VICTORIA’ S TINY TOWNS

PATCHEWOLLOCK TO RUPANYUP, VIC

When Brisbane street artist Guido van Helten transformed the towering decommissioned silos in the small country town of Brim, none of the locals could have predicted what an effect it would have. Curious travellers came flocking, a car park was formed in front of the silos and the news reached international shores. Now, the Wimmera-Mallee region is well on its way to becoming Australia’s largest outdoor gallery with a new art trail stretching 200 kilometres and linking some of Victoria’s smallest towns. With artworks on silos in Patchewollock and Sheep Hills since the Brim makeover, Rupanyup, Lascelles and Roseberry are next, leading to the culmination of the official Silo Art Trail in July – aka a damn good reason for a road trip. siloarttrail.com
