Discover the Devenish Silo Art – Where History Meets Heart
Step into the story of a small town with a big legacy.
Nestled in the scenic countryside of Victoria, Devenish invites you to witness one of Australia’s most moving tributes to service, sacrifice, and community through its stunning silo art.
Painted by renowned Melbourne street artist Cam Scale, these towering murals are more than just art – they’re powerful symbols of Australia’s military history and the changing roles of women in society.
The First Two Silos – Unveiled on Anzac Day 2018, they feature two nurses:
-
One from World War I,
-
The other a modern-day medic.
Together, they tell a touching story of courage, care, and progress.
The Third Silo – Revealed on Anzac Day 2019 with a spectacular costumed parade, this silo pays tribute to the legendary Australian Light Horse.
But what makes Devenish truly special is its community spirit. During WW1, 50 local men and women enlisted – an incredible one in six residents. The mural honours not only their bravery but also the seven heroes who never returned home.
