Murtoa Silo Art & Digital Lightshow

By day and by night… an unforgettable bird mural with a special underlying meaning.

The Murtoa wheat silo was given a stunning new lease on life by renowned street artist SMUG, with a breathtaking mural featuring a flock of brightly coloured birds. The artwork is inspired by the James Hill taxidermy collection, combined with the discoveries of Dr. John Cade, a psychiatrist who made significant contributions to the understanding and treatment of bipolar disorder. 30 remarkably detailed birds can be found on the silos with one unique glowing bird, representing the 1 in 30 Australians who experience mental health illness.

Dave Jones from Transience has given the large scale silo mural a spectacular layer with a permanent light animation over the silo, viewable at night.

The mural is a testament to the power of art to inspire and connect people, as well as to educate and raise awareness about important issues.

Murtoa Silo Art is best viewed from the Water Tower Museum.

Originally built as a war-time emergency grain storage in 1941, The Stick Shed is a unique Australian Heritage Listed structure that has become a remarkable example of Aussie ingenuity and the local farming community.

It was constructed using over 560 natural mountain ash poles and is 270m in length. Soaring to 19m in height and a width of 60m, it gives the impression of a grand cathedral. For that reason, The Stick Shed is often referred to at “The Cathedral of the Wimmera” and needs to be seen to be believed.

Located next to the Grain Corp Receival Facility at the East entry to the town, the Stick Shed is open for self or guided group tours.

The Stick Shed entry tickets, souvenirs, maps and tourist brochures are available at The Stick Shed Visitor Information Centre.

Admission: $12 Adults, $10 Concession, $5 Children Under 16, $24 Family Ticket.

OPENING HOURS: Daily 10am – 3pm
