Lameroo's Towering Tributes to Agricultural Heritage
Standing an impressive 24 meters tall and 33 meters wide, Lameroo's latest landmarks are colossal canvases painted on Viterra's grain silos. These masterpieces, created by internationally acclaimed artist Sam 'Smug' Bates and curated by the award-winning Juddy Roller team, have quickly become a must-see attraction.
Eastern Silo
The artwork of the Eastern Silo powerfully captures Lameroo's deep agricultural roots, honoring the grit and determination of the pioneering farmers who braved the harsh Mallee landscape. Many visitors have already hailed it as 'Australia's best silo art'.
Completed in April 2024 by artist Sam (Smug) Bates.
Western Silo
After the success and impact of the Eastern Silo, Sam (Smug) Bates returned to Lameroo for the Western Silo. This beautiful artwork celebrates the integral, evolving, and empowering role women play in Lameroo’s farming community.

The Eastern Silo was unveiled in April 2024 and the Western Silo in April 2025, they have already drawn incredible attraction from visitors of all ages. The site is surrounded by lovely facilities, featuring a new playground, dog park, grassy areas, nearby cafe and public restrooms. Visitors can also enjoy the adjacent hotel, which boasts beautiful views of the silos. For those looking to extend their stay, caravan and camping facilities are available nearby.
Now that the second silo has been completed, you can tick two beautiful artworks off the Australian Silo Art Trail at once!
Lameroo's silo art makes for an ideal pit stop on the journey between Adelaide and Melbourne or Sydney. However, we encourage you to stay around and explore what the Southern Mallee has to offer; including some of the region's premier 4WD parks and camping spots.
