River Country Art Trail

The River Country Art Trail project will feature a series of large-scale murals on water towers in Barham, Mathoura, Moulamein, and Moama, along with a large-scale sculpture in Tooleybuc. Together, these artworks will create an exciting outdoor gallery across the Murray River Council area.

Funded through Round 2 of the Regional Tourism Activation Fund, this project aims to create iconic artworks that highlight and enhance the region’s unique identity. These high-quality, engaging pieces will attract visitors to the regional towns, showcasing their natural and historical assets. They will become landmarks, encouraging visitors to stop, explore, and appreciate these townships and the surrounding areas.

To ensure the successful delivery of this project, specialist consultants FORM and the Council are supported by Steering Committees in each location. These committees act as a bridge between the community and the project team, providing valuable input and guidance.

Have your say...

3 Artists for each site have now been shortlisted to provide a concept design for consideration by the community, steering committees and key stakeholders.

Due to tight project timelines, we have a short window (Tuesday July 2 – Friday July 12) in which we can gather feedback on their concept designs.

Below you can click through to each town's project page to see the 3 concept designs! While you're there, please leave your feedback and recommendations for consideration.
