Drapl  and  The Zookeeper This is the second painted water tank in Hughenden and the sixth mural. I will upload the rest of the murals when I've caught my posts up but for n…

Drapl and The Zookeeper I LOVED this tank!! It combined something relatable, a local child indulging in an innocent game, with the richness of the towns history without being over…

Unknown Artist This is the first of many. I found maybe half a dozen of these painted structures I assume are water pump houses of sorts. Most appeared to be painted quite some …

Unknown Artist The Coffee Cartel is home to two items that may be of interest to the photo enthusiastic traveler. One is this wall of coffee inspired pictographs and the other is …

Juzpop This mural is one of the more interesting artworks in Townsville. Juzpop referred to her as the Coral Lady which seems fitting. It was commissioned in 2023 and lives on the…

BIG Coffee Cup I once promised myself I'd stop pulling over for things like this, and yet, every time I see one I pull over and take a photo. The Coffee Cartel is home to th…

Phil John Creative I feel like this fun quirky wall is one of Townsville's most captured murals. It lives opposite a newer mural by Juzpop that's a popular snap but it&#…

815K1 I don't know much about this artist. There's a video by the council and an IG account   which feels quite aloof.  A 2022 commission by the Townsville City Council s…

BaretOne Baret doesn't appear to have a dedicated web page so I've provided his Fb account which has his contact information. I was lucky enough to visit 13 murals in Town…

TCC TCC, I assume stands for Townsville City Council. I don't see real life objects being placed in strange places as public art but if council wished to throw a red nose from…

Unknown I took this photo from a boat. We went fishing that morning and I was surprised to find a painted demountable near the boat ramp. I fully intended to return to this spot a…

Robert Woodward Beautiful! I had a little trouble finding this as I was hesitant to lock my electric scooter up outside. I had to venture inside but it was worth the trouble. I…

Sophie Odling Today had me exploring Fortitude Valley. There's 444 photos in my folder waiting to be sorted. I thought it'd be hard to pick a favourite for today but this …

The Brightsiders If I'm not mistaken this post will make Silo Art post #100. I have a dozen or so left to post but it does excite me to see triple digits. Jess and I took a dr…

Amelia Batchelor If you're unlucky you're going to have a car parked on either side of this wall. I used magic eraser to erase a car bumper from this photo evident from th…

There was a sneaky police car waiting just around the bend coming into town. I don't typically speed and use cruise control alot to avoid being heavy footed heading in an out …

Potato Van I ventured to this location to find a mural and was surprised by this potato themed food van. Normally I'd take a photo, have an eternal giggle and move on. The pic…

I wasn't sure if I should count this one but I figured a painted tank is a painted tank no matter the condition or quality. It's faded, it's flaked and its quite har…
