Kimba is a pioneering town that was established in 1915. It’s located at the hallway mark across Australia on the Eyre Highway right at the top of the Eyre Peninsula. It's surrounded by endless wheat farms growing golden in the sunlight; which was the inspiration behind the concept for the silo art.
The Viterra Silos at Kimba were painted by artist Cam Scale in September 2017. The mural stretches over five and a half silos, standing proudly at over 60m wide and 25m high and depicts a young girl standing in a wheat field. She is overlooking a magnificent purple sunset viewed through endless wheat fields which blend into the real thing behind the silos.
It took the artist 26 days to complete using 200 litres of paint. There is a designated viewing area available for this fully operational silo complex, with easy roadside parking.
