This project will depict animals native to the Wimmera. The brush is a chainsaw and the canvas is fallen red gum limbs. The placement of the six sculptures is along the 1 km path down the centre of the main street.
The location encourages walking through the town continuing out to the wetlands area of "Jack's Track" or finishing at the silos.
This project is for community, both residents and visitors, to enjoy walking through the town and the red gum carved art installations.

This will encourage those new faces in town visiting the Silo Art to engage with the town further, visit local stores and appreciate the skilled craftsmanship. Though the advantages to this project are not isolated to new faces; local businesses could potentially benefit from increased publicity about our small township, and local residents can enjoy the enhanced streetscape as they go about their days.
This project will assist in the community's need to stay appealing and relevant to the wider population, in providing something unique and engaging for those unfamiliar with what small communities can offer.
