S: Silo Art

Australia has a new and booming tourist industry. Silo Art trails. These can be found all over the country. Artists paint old silos and water towers in rural and regional areas. This creates a reason for tourists to visit and spend money in the town. In general, the artwork reflects the local community.

On our recent holiday we saw many of these glorious artworks. I love reading the stories attached. Most gave great insight into the towns history. They really do change the landscape and brighten up the towns.

We are looking forward on our next trip to discovering more about rural communities through exploring Silo Art trails. They make an amazing outdoor gallery throughout the country and give new ideas on different routes for our travels.
