GrainCorp Katamatite Silo Art is a remarkable public art installation located in the small regional town of Katamatite, Victoria. Completed in July 2023, the mural was painted by local artist Tim Bowtell and is part of the North East Art Trail
The mural on the GrainCorp silos showcases the rich history and cultural significance of the Katamatite area. It features a Wedge-tailed eagle, symbolizing the connection to the metal eagle in the Lions Park and paying homage to the traditional owners, the Kwat Kwat/Bangerang people. The artwork also depicts indigenous figures camped along the Boosey Creek, with a scar tree running down the center, connecting the two silos.

The silos are a short drive out of town, and visitors need to bear in mind that there are currently no facilities at this site.
