Patchewollock

Artist: Fintan Magee
Completed in 2016

Patchewollock is a town in the north-west region of Victoria. It also marks
the beginning of the ‘Silo Art Trail’ from its northern end.

The GrainCorp Silos at Patchewollock were the fourth silos to join the
Australian Silo Art Trail and the second to be painted in the WimmeraMallee region of Victoria.

They were painted by Brisbane artist Fintan Magee. For inspiration, and
to get to the know the people of the area, Fintan booked a room at the
local pub so he could mix among the local community.

It wasn’t long before he met the subject for the Patchewollock Silos. A
hard working local by the name of Nick “Noodle” Hulland, who
exemplified the no-nonsense, hardworking spirit of the region.

This twin silos were built in 1939 and transformed in late 2016.
