Rutherglen Silos

8 Douglas Street Rutherglen 3685

Visit the Rutherglen Silo Precinct in the heart of Rutherglen and see four enormous, colourful, contemporary murals by Wangaratta-based artist Ronan Holdsworth.

Titled ‘Birds of Seasons’, these vibrant artworks celebrate the local fauna that subtly guides the rhythm of life in the region. These small, beautiful birds have historically played a vital role in signalling the changing seasons to First Nations peoples and farmers alike.

Each silo in the series represents a specific season, and within their forms, intricate details reveal historic markings and stories from the local community.

The first silo, depicting winter, features the Eastern Spinebill Honeyeater, paired with sprigs of Common Heath.

The second silo features Billy Buttons alongside the Red Capped Robin, capturing autumn’s changing landscape.

The third silo features River Red Gum and the Yellow-tufted Honeyeater, embodying summer’s warmth and vitality. Within the bird, delicate linework honours Rutherglen’s grape harvest, featuring golden Muscat and a hidden wine glass.

The fourth silo features the Pink Robin, with its vibrant belly symbolising the transition into Spring, alongside iconic Flannel Flowers. Look closely to discover golden wheat patterns and golden markings that evoke Goldrush- era maps, honouring regional history.

Conveniently located in the heart of Rutherglen, the Rutherglen Silos are an accessible and captivating stop along the Murray to Mountains Rail Trail.
