Public Silo Trail

With an awe-inspiring canvas of silos and country towns, Western Australia is where the mega murals began.

Linking Northam, Ravensthorpe, Merredin, Albany, Katanning, Newdegate and Pingrup, this permanent, open-air, truly PUBLIC ‘gallery’ of murals celebrates the scale and story of agriculture in Western Australia’s southern regions.

FOUR YEARS, 18 ARTISTS, FROM PERTH TO MIAMI TO London to TUNISIA: Artists interpreting the cycle of wildflowers; local birds and rare animals; sea creatures; dog on a ute; the colours of harvest, salt lake, pasture and sky.

A chance to get closer to the people and industries

These towering agricultural landmarks invite you to get closer, and explore, to follow the trail, and visit some of Western Australia’s most welcoming and down-to-earth farming communities.

A legacy project celebrating community, culture and creativity

The chance for the tight-knit communities of the Wheatbelt and the Great Southern to build a cultural tourism experience with the help of art that captures the imagination, and that expresses the work ethic and resilience of the regions.
