"Dreams of Flight" Silo Art

11 November 2019 marks the 100 year anniversary of the first plane to land in Nhill and so beginning the town's important aviation history. We propose painting the Noske Silo in Nhill (the largest single cement silo in the southern hemisphere) with a conceptual artwork by artist Jo Lane called "Dream of Flight". This artwork brings together our first experience of flying, the simple joy of launching a paper plane into the air, and the hand of one of Nhill's oldest living pilots Merv Schneider.

We hope this piece will join the Silo Art Trail to help boost tourism in Nhill and the surrounding area by encouraging people to stop and explore our rich aviation history at the Nhill Aviation Heritage Centre.
