The silo art in Victoria’s Wimmera-Mallee literally paints a wonderful picture of the regions history, culture and character. There are six silos on the 200km trail between Rupanyup and Patchewallock. Each tells a story on a towering scale. Whether you are driving from Melbourne or travelling across Australia, this is one scenic detour you shouldn’t miss!
