Description
To have your photo taken from the viewing platform so that the tank art is recognisable in the background behind you.
Artist Jimmy Dvate spent 29 days working full time to complete the 500 square metres of one continuous mural around the circumference of the tank.
It features local fauna that he took photographs of, at the local Kyabram Fauna Park, as models for the Major Mitchell Cockatoo, Eastern Quoll, Crimson Rosella, Bush Stone-Curlew, Dragonfly, Golden Whistler, Long Necked Turtle, Brolga and others.
It is part of a new tourism trail which starts in Tongala to Kyabram, through Girgarre, Stanhope, Rushworth, Colbinabbin, Rochester, Lockington, Torumbarry and Gunbower so you can expect a lot more art work to appear.
Logs
Came through for the silo art trail. More beautiful art to enjoy
Rated: for Overall Experience
Today we're travelling from Wangaratta to Echuca via some roads less traveled. The weather isn't being kind today but there's always time to stop for a virtual. TFTC
In Kyabram to get a Victorian premier for a Wherigo. Noticed there was a GA cache. Took the required photo and on our way
Aware of this cache for quite a while and drive past it every couple of days but never have the opportunity to stop. Today we did stop after an event in Tatura.
Short detour from the town centre, very impressive artwork. Thanks for bringing us here.
I had the pleasure of viewing this yesterday, it was only finished two days ago. It is a magnificent work of art, the birds eyes especially have been brilliantly captured.
Anyone thinking of attending my GC Community Event in Tongala on Anzac Day would be well advised to detour through here on the way to, or from, Kyabram.
It is well worth viewing, although the viewing platform hasn’t been completed yet.
