Silo art, Wave Rock and coastal wonders in one vibrant escape
Follow the painted path of the West Australian PUBLIC Silo Art Trail and uncover the stories behind towering grain silos, grand granite formations, and dazzling southern coastlines. This six-day escape leads you deep into the Wheatbelt and along stunning southern shores, where dramatic art, natural wonders and local characters bring each stop to life. Discover the colour and creativity of Northam, Merredin, Newdegate and Pingrup, marvel at the world-famous Wave Rock, cruise Albany’s ancient Kalgan River, and dip your toes into the crystal waters of Denmark’s beloved Greens Pool. From regional charm to coastal magic, this is Western Australia at its most vibrant.
