Tour description

Discover the story-filled landscapes of regional New South Wales and Queensland on this colourful Silo Art Journey, where towering grain silos are transformed into extraordinary open-air galleries. From Merriwa and Quirindi to Barraba, each stop reveals breathtaking murals created by renowned Australian and international artists, celebrating the heritage, resilience and character of rural communities. Crossing into Queensland, the journey continues through Goondiwindi, Yelarbon and Millmerran, where striking artworks honour local history, culture and deep connection to the land. Travelling through these vibrant towns offers a unique blend of art, storytelling and countryside charm, making the journey just as memorable as the destinations themselves.

Along the way, you’ll enjoy a beautifully paced itinerary that begins in the Hunter Valley—one of Australia’s oldest and most celebrated wine regions—before travelling inland through Tamworth and the cool-climate beauty of Armidale in the New England high country. Each region offers its own mix of gourmet produce, heritage architecture, natural scenery and warm country hospitality. The tour concludes in Brisbane, a dynamic yet relaxed river city with leafy parks, historic precincts and cultural attractions to enjoy. With thoughtful inclusions, comfortable accommodation and a well-curated blend of art, history and scenic touring, this journey offers a truly enriching way to explore regional Australia.

Testimonials

Thank you for all the arranging that goes behind the International Airport tour that we did yesterday. Everything moved very smoothly from one event to the next, and Peter, our driver, was excellent. He added so much extra value and kept us on schedule. I think you’ll find some of those attending will be in touch in the future about other tours you offer!

Dear On Course Tours Thank you so much for the wonderful 3 day trip to Oberon. It was great to go to Mt Tomah Botanic Gardens and “Bebeah” at Mt Wilson on the first day. Mayfield Gardens (the full gardens) did not disappoint and the weather was so kind to us. The rhododendrons and the crab apples were certainly on display for us. Jimmy did a great job looking after us all. The accommodation was great as well all the good food! Going to Everglades on the day we came home was an added bonus and some time in Leura was great as well. I was even home in time to plant out a replacement Daphne that I had got. l am now looking forward to the Yamba and Grafton trip – here’s hoping the weather will be kind to us. I would love next year’s program when it has been completed. I hear it is nearly finished.

Yours sincerely, RP
