Silo Art - painted water tower by John Murray and Uncle 'Sooty' Welsh

The Coonamble Water Tower Art, a 25-meter-high mural completed in June 2017, showcases the collaborative work of artist John Murray and Indigenous artist Sooty Welsh. The vibrant artwork features Australian Pink and Grey Galahs perched on fence posts, symbolizing the town's rural identity. Celestial elements like the sun, moon, and Southern Cross adorn the tower, reflecting the expansive outback skies. At the base, Sooty Welsh's Aboriginal Dreamtime artwork adds cultural depth, weaving local heritage into the mural's narrative. Located at the corner of Castlereagh and McCullough Streets, this mural beautifully represents Coonamble's rural and cultural identity.
