The Werrimull Mobile Silos became a vibrant canvas in August 2023, transformed by the talented hands of artists Jimmy Dvate and Justin Fennelseed. This remarkable collaboration, involving both artists and the local community, beautifully showcases the profound significance of art in capturing and celebrating the very essence of the environment. These towering structures, once purely functional, now tell a vivid story of the region’s natural heritage.
The chosen theme for this captivating project, “Local Flora & Fauna,” is a truly fitting choice. It allowed the artists to create stunning visuals that represent the unique wildlife and plant life thriving in the area. The detailed depictions of species such as the charismatic Budgerigar, the striking Major Mitchell Cockatoo (Pink Cockatoo), the vibrant Mallee Ringneck parrot, the endearing Echidna, the majestic Little Eagle, and the iconic Emu not only highlight the rich biodiversity of the region but also foster a deep sense of connection and appreciation for these creatures among both residents and visitors.
When planning your unforgettable Mildura getaway, perhaps immersing yourself in a tranquil Murray River experience from the comfortable deck of the River Dream Boatel, a visit to the Werrimull Mobile Silo Art offers a wonderful “Arts and Culture” experience. While it’s a drive to reach Werrimull, there’s no need to book ahead of time to view this impressive outdoor public art. This journey allows you to witness how art can beautifully intertwine with local ecology and community spirit, providing a visually stunning and educational dimension to your trip that perfectly complements your serene river explorations and enhances your understanding of the broader Mildura region’s natural beauty.
