23.01.2022 FIRST SNOW OF THE SEASON AT BARRINGTON TOPS A light dusting of snow fell across the Barrington Tops National Park overnight, much to the delight of snow ch...asers like Emily-Jane Brady. She made the trip down from Taree with her kids - leaving at a very chilly 2:30am! "Around 7am it started dusting a bit and then throughout the morning it just got heavier and heavier," said Emily-Jane. "There was even a little blizzard at some parts of the morning... we had to get under shelter because it was stinging our faces." : Emily-Jane Brady, Taree Barrington Tops Snow Chasers 4WD Snow Chasers, NSW Barrington Tops

05.01.2022 This wonderful silo depicts Joel Fergie's and Travis Vinson's version of the legend of the Three Moon. They are 37th set of silos to Join the Australian Silo Ar...t Trail and were completed in July 2020. Great photos are by @Michalscutts Legend of the Three Moon - Version 1 Three Moon Creek was named according to legend where a swagman, Aboriginal stockman or a Chinese station cook, was boiling his billy on the banks of the creek and noticed three moons - one in the sky, one reflecting on the creek and one reflecting in his billy. Legend of the Three Moon - Version 2 There is another story also of how the name came about. The following is from Miss Caswell of Euston, Toowoomba who spent her early life in Cannindah, a place that is located very close the Three Moon. Henry Drew Caswell died in 1887 on his Cannindah property so his on Clive Elliot took on the management of the property. At the time, some of the Aboriginals were given the job of washing the sheep. They would have been well paid and when the job came to an end, they would have been anxious to know when their services would be required again. It would have been no use telling them to come back in three months, but they were able to understand to come back when three moons had passed away. From that time on the creek became known as Three Moon Creek. The above story is from a letter that is from Julieanne Cripps, a descendent of Patrick McKay's partner in Cannindah Station. The Information supplied for the first legend was supplied by the Monto Shire Council. Source: Monto Magic Tourism Action Group

01.01.2022 The Waikerie Silos were the fifth silos to be completed in South Australia and are the 25th to be included in the Australian Silo Art Trail Collection. Titled ‘...Healthy River Healthy Community’ the Waikerie Silos are the second in the Australian Silo Art Trail Collection to be painted on both sides, giving a land view and a river view as well. Two exceptional world class artists were chosen for the project, Jimmy DVate from Melbourne and Garry Duncan from Kanmantoo. Featuring on Jimmy’s silo is local native flora and fauna, including a giant Yabby and the endangered Regent Parrot. Jimmy has also included other endangered species like the Murray Hardyhead and the Spiny Daisy. On Garry’s silo he has painted a giant, semi-abstract river landscape and has included many quirky, local, native river creatures, like assorted birds, frogs, fish and turtles. Garry has also featured the Rainmoth, which is where the town of Waikerie gets its name. The name ‘Waikerie’ is said to mean ‘many wings’, after the giant swift moth ‘Wei kari’, the name given to the moth by the indigenous first peoples of the area. Both artists used exterior enamel paints, Garry exclusively, while Jimmy mainly used aerosol spray cans. The work took 16 weeks to complete and used nearly 500 litres of paint. BUT HOW WAS IT ALL MADE POSSIBLE? SOMETIMES FROM LITTLE THINGS, BIG THINGS GROW! The project could not have been possible without Liz Frankel and her tireless Waikerie Silo Art committee, Natalie Stalenberg, Gretta Koch and Penny Smith. Megan Frankel-Vaughn for her tireless efforts on the Waikerie Silo Art Facebook and Instagram Pages. The South Australian Department of Premier and Cabinet for granting the Fund My Neighbourhood grant and Nature Foundation South Australia for being the major partner for the project. Not to forget the incredible support from The District Council of Loxton Waikerie, The Waikerie Hotel and many other local businesses and service clubs who offered services and products to enhance the project. Also Juddy Roller, one of Australia’s premier street art networks and Viterra. Lastly the artists Jimmy Dvate and Garry Duncan, for their time, skills and wonderfull creativity of ‘Healthy River Healthy Community’ Source: Liz Frankel
