We planned to drive just under 700 kilometres during to day. There was time for quick stops along the way. Coonalpyn was about two hours from Adelaide, so a good spot for a break and a look at their silo art.Coonalyn's silos were the first to be painted in South Australia and were completed in March 2017 (when we were just new QLDers). They were painted by Guido van Helten, whose work features on the Brim silos (the first in Victoria to be painted).
We made a trip to see the Brim silos in 2016 when they were still quite new - and that experience sparked other silo art visits.
You can read about the Coonalypn silos, here. Kaniva is about an hour and a half drive, "closer" to Melbourne. We made a quick stop there also. The sun was quite bright by that stage, so we didn't have the best viewing conditions but really liked the colours and artwork. (There's more detail about the Kaniva silo and the site's history on this page).
