Making your journey back towards Stawell you will pass the Rupanyup’s silos – very different from all the other silo’s. This small town has a Russian influence with artist Julia Volchkova leaving her mark with a painting of two local young people – find out about them and why they were chosen to be painted as you orbit this street art & learn about this town of just 500 people before returning back to Stawell airport.
