The incredible Lameroo Silo Art Project was officially completed in April 2024 on the Eastern Viterra Silo, in Lameroo, South Australia.
The mural was completed in just 3 weeks, by the extraordinarily talented Sam ‘SMUG’ Bates, at the heels of art curators Juddy Roller. This artwork beautifully reflects Lameroo’s rich farming routes, paying tribute to the resilience of our pioneering farmers, in establishing life and livelihood. The picture aims to capture the essence of the Mallee farmer—a symbolic representation of unwavering spirit and hope, which is still alive in the community today.
This project has been 3 years in the making with the volunteer community group, Lameroo Forward Inc working tirelessly to make this happen. The project thanks their generous sponsors – a majority of local businesses – who brought this ambitious idea to life. The silo owners who have enabled this project, Viterra (yes, the silos are still very much used!), and the Local Southern Mallee District Council have shown unwavering support.
Stay tuned… they get to do it again with Smug next year on their Western Silo thanks to their generous sponsors and FRRR for keeping rural communities thriving.
Location:
Lameroo is a town in the Murray Mallee region of South Australia. It is on the Mallee Highway and Pinnaroo railway line about 210km east of Adelaide and 40km west of the Victorian border.
