Wirrabara Silo Art - South Australia

The Viterra Silos in Wirrabara underwent a striking transformation under the skilled hand of Smug in October 2018. These towering silos, measuring 28 meters in height, became the canvas for Smug’s artistic vision, a process that consumed three weeks of meticulous work.

Employing a boom lift, the artist meticulously brought his design to life, ensuring every detail was captured with precision.

The silos now proudly display the likeness of Dion Lebrun, a resident of Tumby Bay chosen by Smug as the embodiment of a quintessential South Australian farmer. The inspiration for this portrayal stemmed from a chance encounter between Smug and Dion at the Tumby Bay Street Art Festival in April 2018.

In the mural, Dion is depicted with his trusty axe slung over his shoulder, under the watchful gaze of a Robin Red Breast perched on his

companion’s shoulder, symbolising a harmonious connection between man and nature.

Visitors to the site are greeted with ample parking facilities in the designated car park, conveniently located on Forest Rd.
