The Beautiful Rochester Silo Art & Murals

One of the newest silo art locations in Victoria, Australia was completed in Rochester, north of Bendigo during July 2018 and what a beauty it is! The colourful detail by artist Jimmy DVate of a Squirrel Glider and Azure Kingfisher on the Campaspe River is fantastic! I headed up that way with my Granny a few days after it was officially completed and already many people were stopping by to check it out.
