Item Descriptions
Painted grain silos at Sea Lake in the Mallee district of north-west Victoria, 23 November, 2019 (Item PIC/21265/2)
1 item,Towns like Sea Lake were once on the brink of becoming ghost towns, but have since undergone a tourism revival, bought on in part by the painting of grain silos across Australia. The artwork depicts a young girl swinging from a mallee eucalyptus tree gazing out over the endless vista that is Lake Tyrrell. A powerful Wedge Tail Eagle saws above the girl and emus run off into the night.
