The Paringa Silo Art stands tall and proud, offering a glimpse into the areas past, selected historical figures and relaxed lifestyle on the Murray River.
Jack Fran, with a wealth of creative experience, was entrusted to bring the vison, 'The River at Renmark' to life!
There are four distinct images (two on the front facing the Sturt Highway and two on the rear of the structure) linked together with soaring pelicans. Local characters were selected to feature as the base silhouettes with the story of our district told through the images within the profiles, including Possum, and his mythological connection with the Murray, a Houseboat, the historic Paddle Steamer Industry, a Dinghy, the magnificent river cliffs plus the iconic Paringa Bridge and a Murray Cod.
The artwork is part of the Australian Silo Art Trail and with shelters, barbecues and interpretive storyboards, the silos are a must visit.
