WORLD-FIRST DIGITAL KIOSKS
POWER UP IN THE GRAMPIANS AND WIMMERA-MALLEE
A groundbreaking tourism innovation is arriving in the Grampians and Wimmera-Mallee, with three world-first, off-the-grid digital information kiosks soon to be installed across the region.
These kiosks will be placed at Lake Tyrrell in Sea Lake, Halls Gap, and Dunkeld in June.
Locally built in St Arnaud and powered entirely by solar and wind energy, these cutting-edge kiosks are set to transform the visitor experience.
Designed with sustainability and convenience in mind, the kiosks offer free Wi-Fi, phone charging, CCTV, and smart mapping of nearby attractions, experiences, and local products.
In a nod to eco-conscious design, the kiosks automatically power down at night to prevent light pollution – fitted with a proximity awareness sensor that activates audio cues upon approach to engage visitors.
The initiative is a joint effort, proudly funded by all eight local government shires and the Department of Jobs, Precincts and Regions, showcasing local innovation and regional collaboration.
This new era of tourism infrastructure is putting the Grampians and Wimmera-Mallee on the map –both literally and figuratively.

Stargazing at Lake Tyrrell – Rob Embury
Advancing across Northwestern Victoria, the Wimmera-Mallee is more than just a destination – it’s home. It’s where vast horizons stretch across the plains, where stories are etched into silo walls, and where small-town charm meets big- sky beauty.
From the pioneering agricultural roots that shaped it to the thriving arts scene, this is a region defined by resilience and creativity. Whether you’re revisiting a favourite spot or discovering a hidden gem, the Wimmera-Mallee invites you to see it with fresh eyes.
Explore the Silo Art Trail , where the region’s farming roots and contemporary art collide. Once symbols of industry and determination, now stand as towering canvases, each telling the story of rural life, resilience, and community spirit. It’s a vivid reminder that in the Wimmera-Mallee, the structures that once defined the land now pay tribute to those who shaped it.
Take a slower pace along the Lakes Trail, winding through some of the state’s most serene waters. Each lake mirrors the vast Wimmera-Mallee skies, inviting moments of calm while showcasing the region’s softer side. It’s a place
where time stretches, horizons widen, and the quiet invites you to linger. Or immerse yourself in the Arts and Heritage scene, where remote galleries, quirky museums, and historic sites honour the region’s rich past and vibrant present. Each stop offers a glimpse into the region’s artistic pulse, honouring the people and places that continue to shape this cultural identity.

SILO ART TRAIL
765km (approx.)
The Silo Art Trail is Australia’s largest outdoor gallery, linking Brim, Rosebery, Albacutya, Patchewollock, Lascelles, Woomelang, Sea Lake, Nullawil, Sheep Hills, Rupanyup, Murtoa, St Arnaud, Goroke, Kaniva, Horsham and Arkona.
Providing an insight into the true spirit of the Wimmera-Mallee, the trail recognises and celebrates the region’s people through a
series of large -scale murals painted onto grain silos, many of which date back to the 1930s.
The project saw a team of renowned artists from Australia and across the world visit the region, meet the locals and transform each grain silo into an epic work of art; each one telling a unique story about the host town.
The Silo Art Trail was conceived in 2016 after the success of the first silo artwork in
Brim. What started as a small community project by the Brim Active Community Group, GrainCorp, Juddy Roller and artist, Guido van Helten resulted in widespread international media attention and an influx of visitors to the region and the idea for a trail was born.
