Silo Art

We are driving from Melbourne to Adelaide with my younger sister Clare and her husband, Ric, to visit my older sister Anne and her husband, Michael. The two sisters last saw each other twenty years ago. Along the way we stopped at some small country towns to look at some grain silos that have art paintings on them.

Ric takes a photo in St Arnaud in western Victoria.

The side of the silo.

The artist on a shed across the street.

The architecture in Victoria is so different from that of Queensland.

We stayed in Horsham overnight and had waffles for brekkie next morning.

The waffle itself was not the best but the rest of it was suitably decadent for breakfast.

Next silo at Garoke.

Kookaburra.

Magpie.

Galah.

The bright morning sun makes the trees look so beautiful.

Kaniva.

Lovely old house.

Coonalpyn in South Australia.

I like these mysterious doors into the silo.

The children who were the models. I bet they are proud of themselves.

Former church. Converting them into residences is quite popular.

Clare and Ric saluting nothing in particular.

Most businesses in these little country towns have closed. The silo art is encouraging travellers to stop and take a break as well as bringing some tourists to the town.

Burned building.

The bakery is now situated in the former Post Office. I had a very good pasty.

Some more murals across the road.

At each of our stops, there were other visitors. It's a wonderful way to break up a long drive and take breaks.
