Victoria. Yanggendyinanyuk was a skilled tracker, talented cricketer, and cultural exponent.

Artist Fintan Magee painted the GrainCorp Silos at Patchewollock in late 2016. They showcase a hardworking local named Nick ‘Noodle’ Hulland, embodying the quintessential Aussie spirit of the Wimmera Mallee region.

The GrainCorp Silos at Lascelles received a stunning transformation at the hands of artist Rone in mid-2017. The focal point of this masterpiece is a depiction of a local couple, Geoff and Merrilyn Horman, who epitomise the enduring spirit of the community.

The GrainCorp Silos at Sea Lake were painted by Joel Fergie, aka The Zookeeper, and Travis Vinson, aka Drapl in October 2019.

On the 5th of July 2019, the local silos in the middle of town became the new centrepiece when artist Sam Bates, aka Smug, took to a cherry picker and commenced painting. Just 14 days later, they were complete.

Prominently featured on this silo is Jimmy the kelpie dog as he sits with a close companion; could it be his owner Darren?

Renowned artist Jimmy Dvate undertook the painting task, commencing in late November 2020 and completing the project within a remarkable time frame of just four weeks.

Nestled in the small farming community of Waaia, Victoria, this striking new mural by renowned artist Tim Bowtell captures the heart and heritage of the region. Completed in October 2025, the artwork pays tribute to the town’s strong dairying roots, its people, and its proud agricultural past.

The GrainCorp Silos art project at Katamatite, painted by Tim Bowtell in July 2023, holds significant importance to the Lions Club and the entire community.
