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, and possibly the world. Known for its significance, the Nhill silo is also a canvas for nhill silo art that celebrates the local culture. The silo cost £7,000 to build, which is equivalent to approximately $AUD 920,000-950,000 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, promoting it as an Australian cultural icon and developing it as a community resource. With the help of our generous donors, volunteers, and successful grant applications, work has already begun to preserve this vital part of Nhill’s living heritage.
