Picola Silo Art
4.8
422 reviewsAbout
The Picola Silo features a magnificent depiction of the Superb Parrot, on a backdrop of the nearby Barmah National Park and some of the native flora and fauna found in the region. It was painted by Melbourne-based artist Jimmy D'Vate, whose work is also featured on the Goorambat Silos.
In bygone days, Picola was known as 'the hook' because it was at the end of the railway line. Paying homage to this history, D'Vate has hidden a hook in this painting. See if you can find it.
These silos are fully operational and are on private property. They can be easily seen and photographed from the road.

Tucked away in the quiet farming town of Picola, this silo art stop feels like a gentle pause in the landscape a moment where the story of the land rises up in full colour. The mural celebrates what Picola is known for: wide skies, wetlands alive with birdlife, and a community shaped by the rhythms of farming and the Barmah Forest nearby. The artwork brings together the region’s natural beauty and its deep connection to Country, honouring the wildlife that thrives here and the people who’ve cared for this land across generations. If you’re travelling the northern Victorian silo trail, Picola is one of those stops that reminds you why these small towns matter. It’s not just art on concrete, it’s pride, history, and a whole landscape captured in a single moment.

A magnificent piece of art work on the silos in a small town The silo trail is a great initiative to attract visitors to an area but many of them do have anything more in the area Some have coffee shops etc nearby but others have nothing
