The Melbourne to the Murray Silo Art Road Trip maps out a route beginning in Colbinabbin and ending in Benalla, with stops in Rochester, Kyabram, Echuca-Moama and Mathoura included in between.
Moira Shire launched the initiative in 2022, and has now partnered with Campaspe Shire Council to include local landmarks.

Campaspe Shire Mayor Daniel Mackrell welcomed the new brochure and cross-council collaboration.
“This recognition not only showcases the incredible talent of the artists and the stories behind these artworks, but will also attract visitors to explore our region, boosting local businesses and strengthening community pride,” he said.
Moira chair administrator Dr Graeme Emonson said working with Campaspe Shire Council on the expanded brochure was a natural progression.
“The Silo Art trail doesn’t stop at shire boundaries,” he said.
“We want visitors to enjoy the full breadth of what our beautiful region has to offer, from our charming small towns to our mighty Murray River.”
The brochure is expected to be popular with residents and visitors alike, particularly drawing domestic tourism from Melbourne.
Of the 30,000 copies printed, 10,000 will be distributed in the city and other regional Victorian areas, with the remainder divided between the Campaspe and Moira area.
