Kimba Silo Art

Kimba Silo Art is a large-scale mural painted on Viterra grain silos on Railway Terrace in the centre of Kimba on South Australia's Eyre Peninsula. Completed in 2017 by Melbourne artist Cam Scale, the artwork covers five silos and depicts local themes reflecting the district's agricultural heritage. Part of the Australian Silo Art Trail, it has become a key roadside attraction for visitors travelling the Eyre Peninsula, offering a striking example of regional public art in a rural town setting.

Visitors can expect to view a large colourful mural covering five operational Viterra grain silos located on Railway Terrace in central Kimba. The artwork is viewed externally from the public road and designated viewing area outside the fenced silo compound. The setting is flat and open within the town centre, surrounded by grain handling infrastructure and adjacent parkland. Visitors can walk around the viewing area, take photographs from various angles, and read interpretive signage about the artwork and district.

The mural was painted in 2017 by Melbourne artist Cam Scale and commissioned by the District Council of Kimba with support from Viterra. It was created on operational grain silos that have served the district's wheat and grain industry for decades, transforming functional agricultural infrastructure into public art and marking Kimba's participation in the Australian Silo Art Trail movement that began in regional Victoria and South Australia.

The artwork celebrates Kimba's identity as an agricultural community at the centre of the Eyre Peninsula, often referred to as the halfway point across Australia. It reflects local farming heritage and community pride, and contributes to regional cultural tourism by showcasing contemporary public art in a rural setting.
