The Campaspe Art Trail, stretching from Kyabram to Gunbower, is a vibrant part of the Australian Silo Art Trail, offering a rich tapestry of public artworks.
With Kyabram as your starting point, you can embark on a journey through the region’s artistic heritage and natural splendour.
Your adventure kicks off with the Kyabram Water Tank mural, a masterpiece by Jimmy Dvate.
This stunning artwork showcases the diverse wildlife of the Kyabram Fauna Park, featuring an array of animals and birds including the eastern long neck turtle, golden whistler, and the rare plains-wanderer.
For the best view of this mural, you can head to the old Kyabram train station at the corner of Union and Drum Sts.
Here, you’ll find a viewing platform, picnic area and ample parking — even for caravans — making it the perfect spot for a lunch break while you soak in the artistry.
The Kyabram Town Hall Gallery serves as the cultural heart of the town.
With five gallery spaces rotating displays every two months, so there’s always something new to see.
