Annette Green Takes Us On a Journey Through the Australian Silo Mural Art Trail.
Australia’s first painted silo emerged in Northam of Western Australia in 2015, painted by artists Phlegm and HENSE. By June 2019, there were 31 painted silos across the country with more being planned. Among many artists who participated in painting silos, but also water towers, are Guido van Helten, Fintan Magee, Rone, and Evoca1. The Australian Silo Art Trail has become an ultimate Australian road trip, with a journey stretching over 7,500 kms. And every town in the trail has a story to tell which is reflected in their silo art.
