Timeline
14:00
Drive 41 km north from Mungundi on the Carnarvon Highway to reach the Thallon Grain Silos. Arrive in the mid-afternoon to avoid the midday heat and enjoy the space before the crowds gather.
14:30
Take your time walking around the base of the silos. The scale of the painting 'The Watering Hole' is best appreciated from ground level. Look for details in the artwork that are hard to see from a distance.
15:00
Check the route back toward Mungundi for a local cafe or shop. Since there are no specific food or drink venues listed in the immediate vicinity of the silos, you will need to find a place to grab a snack or drink on your way back to town.
Local tip
The drive is on the Carnarvon Highway. Make sure you have enough fuel before heading north, as services are sparse in this region.
Check before you go
- Check the route for food options in Mungundi or along the highway if you plan to eat after visiting.
