The murals depict a magnificent tribute to five Coonalpyn Primary School children, whose images will now live on in the history of the town forever. The lucky five were six-year-olds Kiarah Leske and Blake Thompson, five-year-olds Macey Jacobs and Reef Gregor and nine-year-old Ciara Johnson. The children are in various poses with two children looking to be actually drawing onto the face of two of the silos.
The Viterra Coonalpyn Silos were the first silos to be painted in South Australia and are the seventh silos to be included in the Australian Silo Art Trail Collection. They were completed in March 2017.
They were painted by world-renowned large scale mural artist Guido van Helten who was given full creative license to create what he believed would best reflect community spirit, culture and local identity.
