Titled ‘Healthy River Healthy Community’ the Waikerie Silos are the second in the Australian Silo Art Trail Collection to be painted on both sides, giving a land view and a river view as well.

Two exceptional world class artists were chosen for the project, Jimmy DVate from Melbourne and Garry Duncan from Kanmantoo.

Featuring on Jimmy’s silo is local native flora and fauna, including a giant Yabby and the endangered Regent Parrot. Jimmy has also included other endangered species such as the Murray Hardyhead and the Spiny Daisy.

On Garry’s silo he has painted a giant, semi-abstract river landscape and has included many quirky, local, native river creatures, like assorted birds, frogs, fish and turtles. Garry has also featured the rainmoth (Abantiades atripalpis), which is where the town of Waikerie gets its name.
