Faced with the bush fires of 2020 followed by the Covid 19 Pandemic, the small town of Yarram in Victoria turned to ART as its secret weapon against a potential tourist downturn, depression, and financial ruin.

The town has adopted an Internationally acclaimed street & silo artist to transform their building walls into a blaze of colour and hope.

World renowned street and silo artist Heesco Khosnaran was invited by local artist & film maker Wayne Tindall to transform the entire town of Yarram over a six-week period in March 2020. Long-time Yarram resident Eric Greenaway had previously seen Heesco’s art works on the walls of Yarram’s Bull Bar & Gallery, a bar recently founded by Anne & Wayne Tindall. Eric’s vision was to engage several other building owners to transform their buildings with Heesco’s art.

The result is an extraordinary street art precinct that has taken out the gold award for the best street art trail in Australia 2020/21.

Most of the paintings have been designed by Wayne Tindall in consultation with local building owners who have self-funded their own murals.
