VICTORIA'S SILO ART TRAIL

We left Bendigo and headed into Victoria's Wimmera Mallee region to travel along the Silo Art Trail. We marvelled at the images painted on the silos......truly spectacular. We also marvelled at the amount of wheat crops throughout this region.
 

Can you believe it.......a town out here named after a Frenchman, St Arnaud.

The Stick Shed at Murtoa was something to behold. Completed in 1942 as an emergency grain store during WW2. How they built these amazing structures never ceases to amaze.

We ate all our fruit and veges and crossed the border into SA to discover the painting of silos is catching on. Below a couple of pics from Coonalpyn.


 
Its off to Adelaide for us now. Merry Xmas and a Happy New Year from the Chookpen (wheatbelt style).
