Dunedoo Silo Art
Highlights
- Explore the vibrant Dunedoo Silo Art showcasing local legends Hugh Bowman and Chris Waller amidst stunning rural landscapes.
- Admire the intricate details of Black Swans soaring overhead, capturing the essence of Dunedoo's natural beauty.
- Discover the rich history of the silos, originally opened in 1936 and now revitalised as part of the Australian Art Silo Trail.
- Engage with local culture through art, as the silos reflect the community's heritage and connection to the land.
The Dunedoo Development Group secured a State Government Grant at the end of 2019 to have the Silos painted and become part of the ‘Australian Art Silo Trail’. The Grain Silos were opened in 1936 and were closed by Graincorp, along with 72 other silos in NSW, in 2014. The Silo is now privately owned by a local farmer, Mr Brett Yeo.
The artist commissioned to paint the silos was Mr Peter Mortimore and his wife Carolyn (nee Nott, who grew up in Dunedoo).
The eastern side depicts local jockey Hugh Bowman, with his winning gesture- ‘She’s Apples’, with the mighty Winx and trainer Chris Waller. On the southern and western side the silo depicts the Dunedoo and District local rural landscape including Black Swans flying overhead. Dunedoo is derived from the Wiradjuri language for Black Swan.
