World’s first wind farm towers featuring Indigenous art unveiled in South Australia's mid-north

The murals featured on the two wind
turbines were created by artists from the
Ngadjuri and Nukunu people.
Art on the side of Australia's iconic grain silos has taken the world by storm in recent years — but it is not just regional grain infrastructure that are being transformed into artistic canvases.

The world's first wind farm towers featuring indigenous art have been officially unveiled in South Australia's mid north last week.

The Hornsdale wind project outside Jamestown is a joint venture between French company Neoen and the Australian Capital Territory Government.

It has been estimated that it will inject $250 million into the South Australian economy and deliver clean energy to the capital.
