This artwork is a tribute to Western Australia's tenacious, resourceful farming communities.

It's figurative depictions of the towns iconic Pingrup Races, it's Merino sheep, it's people, cattle dogs & even a tractor based precisely on one found on the main street of town, all tell a story about the character of it's community.

The Pingrup silos were the ones we drove past as they were being officially 'unveiled'. They sure are impressive.
