Road Trip the Victoria Silo Art Trail: Australia’s Largest Outdoor Gallery 

Did you know that Victoria’s spectacular Silo Art Trail now encompasses more than 23 breathtaking works of art by world-renowned street artists from around the globe? 

Covering roughly 900km, these massive murals are dotted across small rural towns, making it the perfect regional road trip adventure. 

The Victorian Silo Art Trail is split into two main branches — North East and North West. To follow the North East Trail, head from Melbourne towards Shepparton and Benalla, or for the North West Trail, make your way towards Horsham. 

Take your time exploring these beautiful routes: stop in charming country towns, meet the locals, and soak up the natural beauty of regional Victoria — from the Murray River and Grampians to the High Country and Goldfields. 

North East Trail 

Heading northeast from Melbourne, this section takes you through picturesque towns such as Devenish, Dookie, Goorambat, St James, Tungamah, and Ratamatite. The trail is roughly 2.5 hours’ drive from Benalla, which has its own thriving arts scene, complete with a popular gallery and vibrant street murals. 

Don’t forget to embrace the charm and heritage of the region with highlights such as the Benalla Aviation Museum, Benalla Botanic Gardens, Winton Wetlands, St James & Tungamah War Memorials, and countless welcoming country pubs serving hearty meals and cold beers. 

Silo stops along the North East Trail include: 

• Rochester Silo Art 

• Lake Boga Silo 

• Dookie Nomadic Silos 

• St James Silo Art 

• Tungamah Silo Art 

• Devenish Silo Art 

• Goorambat Silo Art 

• Ratamatite Silo 

North West Trail 

The North West Silo Art Trail is the longer of the two, covering nearly 700km from Horsham in the Grampians region. Considered the largest outdoor gallery in Australia, this section takes more than eight hours to drive in total, so overnight stops are a must to truly enjoy the journey. 

One quirky highlight of this route is the Sheep Art Trail in Kaniva, featuring over 40 individually painted sheep scattered throughout town. 

Non-silo highlights to enjoy along the way include: 

• The Giant Koala in Horsham 

• The Stick Shed in Murtoa — the last remaining bulk wheat storage built during WWII 

• Murtoa Museum Precinct 

• Little Desert National Park 

• Aboriginal rock art sites throughout the Grampians
