The Silo Art themes are a pictorial lens of the community's unique characteristics and values. The themes commence with the Colbinabbin Annual Farmers' Picnic that began in 1878 and continued for sixty years. No wonder we all still love to gather at Colbo! The steam train arrived in 1914 to support agriculture and to bring passengers to attend the farmers' picnics. After arriving at the station, they would walk up the hill to enjoy the annual event. The original township was based at Colbinabbin West. However, as the train could not make it up the hill, it was then decided to move the town to the current site. The Country Fire Authority theme includes the first 1947 Austin Tanker fire truck "LU600' proudly sitting on the channel bank. This theme acknowledges the many volunteers who have served in the Colbinabbin district. The man-made Waranga Western Main channel is the lifeline of our township and farming community. The young children walking across the bridge are making their way to the recreation reserve to participate in the local sporting activities. The final theme depicts the famous Colbinabbin Tractor Pull that started in 1982. Project initiator Peter Hamilton is driving "Black Velvet", the only tractor in Australia with a jet turbine engine. The crowd for the first tractor pull was expected to be 3.000; however 22,000 people arrived, with the crowds becoming as big a story as the tractors.
