Painting of a new art installation at GrainCorp’s Goroke site has now finished.
Artist Geoffrey Carran has been busy creating a mural on the town’s silos as part of new silo art in West Wimmera Shire Council.
Silo art painting at the site began in late September and the silos now depict a kookaburra, magpie and galah, in front of a Wimmera landscape.
Mr Carran loves painting birds and has previously painted bird murals at Edenhope, Balmoral, Niddrie and Naracoorte.
The completed project joins painted GrainCorp silos at Kaniva, which were completed last month. The two sites will tie in with the region’s existing silo art murals.
Geoffrey worked closely with the Goroke community and West Wimmera Shire Council to develop the concept for the artwork.
Council chief executive David Leahy said having two silo art locations in the shire was a drawcard for the region.
“With COVID-19 restrictions easing, more tourists are now allowed to travel out to our beautiful part of the world,” he said.
