Silo Art Trail

The Silo Art Trail was always one of those things I'd heard about because of my parents or their friends. They would post images on their Facebook of the silos while on their grey nomad adventure around Australia. "Why would I bother checking them out when there's so much great street art in Melbourne?" was my standard reply when it was brought up. To be fair, the scale and detail of the few works I checked out on this drive weren't too dissimilar to what you can see on Wellington Street in Collingwood, but it's the way they stick out from the neighbouring landscape that truly catches you off guard. More than that though, the Silo Trail is a bait and switch, so you're forced to check out all the tin shed towns along the way. The op shops, pubs and rusting buildings were just as interesting as the silos that draw you into the region.
