Lameroo's Towering Tribute to Agricultural Heritage
Standing an impressive 24 meters tall and 33 meters wide, Lameroo's latest landmark is a colossal canvas painted on Viterra's grain silos. This masterpiece, created by internationally acclaimed artist Sam 'Smug' Bates and curated by the award-winning Juddy Roller team, has quickly become a must-see attraction.
​
The artwork 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'.​
Unveiled in April 2024, this incredible attraction draws 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.
​
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.
Looking ahead, 2025 will see the addition of a second silo art installation, celebrating the evolving role of women in agriculture.
The silo art features in the 2025 Australian Silo Art Calendar and Diary, which can be purchased here Australian Silo Art Trail Store (siloartstore.com) with 50% of profits going back to the volunteer community group, Lameroo Forward Inc, who orchestrated the Lameroo Silo Art Project.
