As the topic says. Has anyone got a comprehensive list of all of the current painted silos? We have seen a few in Vic but don't want to miss any if we can help it. Would be great to have a list as we start our travels in retirement.

Cold morning here in Logan City Brisbane area with the temp down to 7 degrees but the westerly wind had it feeling like 3 - 4 degrees. That is cold for Logan. What is the temp where you are.? Early winter, so looks like a very cold winter period. Jay&Dee
