Sea Lake Silo

Painted by ‘Drapl & The Zookeeper’, the artwork is a celebration of the still and silence found in outback Victoria, and the associated feelings of wholeness and freedom. The young girl, swinging from a Mallee Eucalyptus, looks over Lake Tyrrell and reflects on her indigenous heritage. The indigenous name ‘Tyrille’means ‘space opening to the sky’as the colours of dusk and dawn are reflected in the shallow saline bowl. The Boorong people were known to have more knowledge of astronomy than any other tribe, and their stories are rich in culture and connection to the lake.
