Waikerie Silo Art

The Waikerie Silos were the fifth silo art project to be completed in South Australia. Titled ‘Healthy River Healthy Community’, the Waikerie Silos are painted on both sides, giving a land view and a river view as well. Two exceptional world-class artists were chosen for the project, Jimmy Dvate from Melbourne and Garry Duncan from Kanmantoo.

Featuring on Jimmy’s silo is local native flora and fauna, including a giant Yabby and the endangered Regent Parrot. Garry has painted a giant, semi-abstract river landscape and has included many local, native river creatures, such as birds, frogs, fish, and turtles. Garry has also featured the Rainmoth, which is where the town of Waikerie gets its name.
