About Karoonda Silo Art
Karoonda Silo Art is a large-scale public mural painted on operational grain silos on Railway Terrace in Karoonda, South Australia, within the District Council of Karoonda East Murray. Completed in 2019 by Melbourne-based artist Heesco Khosnaran as part of the Australian Silo Art Trail, the artwork depicts local farming heritage and Mallee landscape themes. The silos are a prominent roadside attraction visible from the Mallee Highway and illuminated at night.
