The GrainCorp Silos art project at Katamatite, painted by Tim Bowtell in July 2023, holds significant importance to the Lions Club and the entire community.
The silo artwork showcases a Wedge Tailed eagle, symbolizing the connection to the metal eagle in the Lions Park and paying homage to the traditional owners, the Kwat Kwat/Bangerang people. The left silo portrays indigenous figures camped along the Boosey Creek, and a Scar Tree runs down the center, connecting the two silos. The design also features local plants and rare wildflowers. The top right showcases the first passenger train engine that serviced Katamatite in its early settlement days. The bottom of both silos features a depiction of horses pulling a scoop to create irrigation channels, which played a crucial role in opening up the region to farming.
