The Silo Art Trail is a scenic drive of more than 200 km through the Wimmera and Mallee, located north of the Grampians. The route links a series of country towns including Brim, Sheep Hills, Rupanyup, Lascelles, and Patchewollock, where large-scale murals have been painted on grain silos. The drive passes through open farmland and wide plains and is best enjoyed as a full or multi-day trip, with plenty of stops for photos and short town visits.

Grampians Olive Co. is located at Laharum on the northern edge of Grampians (Gariwerd) National Park and makes an easy stop on a scenic drive through the Wimmera. One of Australia’s oldest olive groves, it offers free tastings of organic olive oils and vinegars, a farm shop, and views across the Grampians and surrounding plains. Allow 30 to 60 minutes for a visit, with olive pressing visible during harvest season in May and June.

Dunkeld sits at the southern gateway to Grampians (Gariwerd) National Park and is a key starting point for one of the region’s most scenic drives. The Grampians Tourist Road (C217) runs north from Dunkeld toward Mirranatwa Gap, offering mountain views, valleys, and frequent lookout stops. The village is also a base for short to full-day walks, including Mount Sturgeon (7 km return), the challenging Mount Abrupt climb, and the shorter Piccaninny Walk, making it an easy place to combine driving with outdoor stops.
