The eastern long neck turtle, a golden whistler bird, a red-capped robin, yellow crimson rosetta, a Major-Mitchell cockatoo, a plains-wanderer, a spotted quoll, a blue skimmer dragonfly, a brolga and a bush stone-curlew all come to life on the water tank.
The best place to view the Kyabram Water Tank mural is at the viewing platform on the old Kyabram train station platform, which can be found on the corner of Union and Drum Sts.

Kyabram Town Hall Gallery is a hub of history and art, with four gallery spaces changing displays every two months, except for the space maintained by the Splinters Contemporary Artists, which updates their exhibitions after three months.
Focusing on all artistic mediums, a favourite of the Kyabram Town Hall Gallery is textile art, with many national travelling shows passing through the doors each year.
Out from Kyabram you will find Tongala, the home of street art, with more than 50 amazing artworks lining the streets that tell the story of the town.
The Girgarre sound walk is where you can take a stroll while creating unique sounds and songs with public music instruments made out of recycled things.
Stanhope has a range of murals with a focus on the town’s people with a mural on the Fonterra factory featuring 11,000 photos of the community.

Travel to Colbinabbin to see one of the most wonderful pieces of silo art imaginable with five privately owned silos painted by artist Tim Bowtell.
The silos depict significant events in the history of Colbinabbin including paintings of the early farmers picnics, transporting grain to and from the Colbinabbin silos, the role of the CFA and channel building to the town, and the massive tractor pull from the 1980s.
Rochester has silos painted by Jimmy Dvate, the same artist that painted the Kyabram Water tank.
The GrainCorp silos at Rochester are an impressive dedication to local flora and fauna with mural’s of threatened the azure kingfisher, the squirrel glider and the large duck-billed platypus.
Public art in Rochester is not limited to the GrainCorp silos, as there are more than 50 pieces of public art spread throughout the town including a mural park in Moore St and a mural featuring former Rochester local and homicide detective Ron Iddles.
A highlight of all of Rochester’s public art is the annual mural festival held in February each year.
If you want to be immersed in art, Kyabram is the ideal place to base your journey through the Campaspe Art Trail.
