WA’s Public Silo Trail – The Ultimate Art Road Trip
If you’re looking for a road trip with a difference, pack your bags, fuel up the car, and hit the road on Western Australia’s Public Silo Trail, a one-of-a-kind journey that transforms the state’s regional heartland into a world-class open-air art gallery.
Stretching from Northam to Albany, this 1,578-kilometre trail by FORM takes you through the Golden Outback and South West, where towering CBH grain silos have been turned into massive works of art by renowned local and international muralists. Once purely functional, these silos now tell stories of regional life, wildflowers, native animals, and the communities that bring the Wheatbelt and Great Southern to life.
