Jimmy Dvate: Recently spent 3 weeks back in awesome Rochester painting a third silo. So good to be working again and amazing to see how much the town is thriving. For this silo we went with a Platypus as there have been some sightings along the river recently. They have also just been listed as a threatened species in Vic due to increased risks from droughts, floods, fires and habitat destruction. Massive thanks to the Rochester Business Network Rochester Silos and the whole community for supporting the project and amazing hospitality as always.
