Goorambat: West

Goorambat is best known within Victoria for its large-scale grain-silo art, part of north-east Victoria’s growing public-art trail. This small rural settlement sits amid the broad agricultural country north-west of Benalla, where grain production has long shaped the local landscape and economy. The painted silos give an industrial landmark a contemporary cultural role, drawing attention to communities beyond the state’s larger towns. Goorambat is also within the wider north-east Victorian region of farms, small townships and routes leading towards the Victorian Alps.

Bendigo and Ballarat grew rapidly during the gold rushes of the 1850s, while Melbourne developed into Victoria’s cultural and economic centre. Along the southwest, the Great Ocean Road follows a dramatic stretch of coastline, contrasting with the farmland and river country inland.
