The Significance of the Silo
Built in 1919 by Noske Bros P/L, the Nhill Silo stands 100ft tall with a diameter of 50ft and a capacity of 135,000+ bushels (3,674t) of wheat, making it the largest single-cell concrete grain silo in the Southern Hemisphere (possibly the world).
The silo cost £7,000 to build, the equivalent of approximately $AUD 676,784.49 in modern currency.
The purpose of the Nhill Silo Heritage Project is to protect, preserve and restore the complex formerly known as Noske’s Flour Mill, to promote the complex as an Australian cultural icon and to develop it as a community asset.
With the help of our generous donors, volunteers and successful grant applications, work has already begun to preserve this living heritage site.
