Painted silos in the quaint town of Forest Hill would deliver an economic boom and increase in tourist numbers, according to a Thallon resident.
The statement comes from Thallon Progress Association secretary Leanne Brosnan, who was instrumental in having the small southwest Queensland town’s silos painted in 2017.
Not only does Ms Brosnan claim the silo art had a positive financial impact on the town t, but it’s also saved the small Balonne Shire town from dying.
In the years since the enormous artworks were revealed, there was no harvest, no rain, and 2019 was the driest year on record.
