The GrainCorp Silos at Patchewollock were the fourth set of silos to join the Australian Silo Art Trail Collection and the second to be painted in the Wimmera-Mallee region of Victoria.
They were painted by a Brisbane artist by the name of Fintan Magee. For inspiration for his silo mural and to get to the know the people of the area, Fintan booked a room at the local pub so he could mix among the local community.
It wasn’t long before he met the subject for the Patchewollock Silos. A hard working lanky local by the name of Nick “Noodle” Hulland who exemplified the no-nonsense, hardworking spirit of the region.
This twin silos were built in 1939 and was transformed in late 2016.
Another beautiful Silo …. Fills my heart with joy 🎶
This one’s not just a decoration, it’s a real portrait, and it blends seamlessly into its landscape.

Fintan Magee is one of my favourite street artists. Awesome to see his work on a silo.
