Discover Kapunda’s Silo Art – A Must-See on South Australia’s Silo Art Trail

Standing proudly on Hancock Road, Kapunda’s towering silos have been transformed into a breathtaking masterpiece by world-renowned artist Sam “Smug” Bates. This hyper-realistic mural brings Kapunda’s story to life, celebrating its legacy as Australia’s first successful copper mining town.

The artwork immerses you in a dramatic underground scene: a Cornish miner illuminated by candlelight, holding a glowing piece of copper ore as he gazes toward the township. Behind him, the tunnel opens to reveal vivid landscapes of open-cut mines and rolling farmland, symbolizing the region’s rich history and enduring connection to agriculture.

More than just art, this landmark reflects the resilience and creativity of the Kapunda community. As part of the SA Silo Art Trail, it’s a perfect stop for travellers seeking authentic regional experiences. While you’re here, explore Kapunda’s heritage streets, public murals, and learn about the traditions and heritage of this region.

Pick up a trail map and brochures at the Kapunda Visitor Information Centre and make this iconic mural the highlight of your journey through South Australia’s heartland.
