Hopetoun to Horsham

Hopetoun to Horsham

We have taken the day to slowly explore further the Silo Art Trail which first began in Brim in 2015 painted by Guido van Helten and more artists followed his lead and joined in the quest to depict aspects of small communities along the Wimmera area.  Brim is adjacent to the Yarriambiack Creek which every town we came to seemed to be lucky enough to have as a special feature in their town – some utilized brilliantly and promoted to tourists.  Brim also was where the first million dollar bale of super fine wool was grown by the Appledores. 

So today we toured through Lascelles  where the Silo art was completed by artist Rone.  We visited the lake Lascelles at Hopetoun,  which is lovely, then Rosebery  where the silo art was completed by Kaff Eine.  Then there was Brim, depicting generations of farming families;  then we visited Warracknabeal, followed by Sheep Hills which featured four local Indigenous persons; then Rupanyup painted by Julia Volchkova featuring youth of sporting games.

We then moved on to Murtoa which had a lake in the town, with caravan park on the water, a walking track around the lake and all sports venues at hand.  A lovely place to visit!  We then headed for Horsham and we have now parked at the caravan park on the route to the Grampians.
