Magnificent!!! The silo art at Goorambat is part of the Silo Art Trail in Central North Victoria stretching from Picola through Katamitite, Tungamah, St. James, Devenish finishing at Goorambat. Truly magnificent artwork by several artists. The tour can be carried out in a day but best to leave early in the morning to complete the whole tour. You can start tour from either end, Picola to Goorambat or the other way around. Make sure you take cameras or ensure that your mobile phone is fully charged as I guarantee you will take a large number of photos. It is an experience you will never forget. We have done the tour on several occasions and each time there has been new artwork to see. At Devenish ensure you see the artwork on the wall of the toilet block to the left of the solos and also down the side street next to pub. At St. James take a moment to have a look at a piece of Australia, the original G. J. Coles store. It is a shame that an effort has not been made to restore and preserve the store which has fallen into disrepair. The whole tour is totally free and you can do it at your leisure it is not a guided tour. Completely at your leisure. Take refreshments with you as the tour is quite lengthy and there are not many places to stop...
Read moreIt is a beautiful and quiet little town. Goorambat silo art was beautiful. It showed the history of Goorambat. The artist did a fantastic painting. I am in awe of the creativity and skills of the artist. Firstly, to paint something of this size. Secondly, to work off boom lifts at height. Wow, wow 👌. There are information boards on both sides of the silos,as there are paintings on the front and back of the group of silos. Once you have seen and appreciated the beautiful artwork and taken lots of photos. Make your way across the road to the Railway Hotel to enjoy a bite to eat and drink.
Highly recommend this place...

Goorambat silo art depicts Clydesdale horses these were the backbone of the Goorrambat farming community from the time of the first settlers until long after the first tractor arrived in Goorrambat in 1924. The Australian Barking Owl(also known as the winking owl) and the Iron bark trees play an important role for the Barking Owl and other animals and birds considering the Barking Owl is endangered. The Iron bark tree has also played an important role in the agricultural industry in...
