Silo Art in Grenfell

We took a day trip from the Southern Highlands out to see the Silo Art in Grenfell.  These impressive silos were painted by Melbourne street artist Heesco in 2019.  It was an ambitious 7-ish hours of round-trip driving time, stopping in at a few country towns along the way to see what we could see.
