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.

Project now taking shape.....

Following extensive community engagement and a rigorous selection process, we’re excited to welcome renowned artists DULK, Twoone, Heesco, Gus Eagleton, and Stuart Green, each bringing unique visions to life across our communities.

The Mathoura water tower is now beautifully adorned with a vibrant mural thanks to Spanish artist DULK. His nature-inspired artwork brings the spirit of the region to life, marking the first installation in the River Country Art Trail. Check-out the photos tab on this page for the final result.

And in more exciting news....Japanese-born artist Twoone is nearing completion of the Moama Water tower too!

Both installations will be wrapped up by Christmas, adding a burst of colour as we head into the festive season.

Installations in Barham, Moulamein and Tooleybuc will commence in early 2025.

While the installation phase is in progress, we ask community members to be mindful as these talented artists bring their visions to life.

Each mural and sculpture represent hours of dedicated work, creativity, and focus. While we encourage everyone to enjoy and observe the transformation, please respect the artists’ space and allow them the concentration needed to complete these remarkable artworks.

Stay tuned for updates, including artist interviews, progress photos, and the reveal of each finished piece!
