The mural tells a pictorial history of the Weddin Shire, depicting a bucolic scene with cattle in a lush, green field and galahs flying overhead.

The mural took the artist five weeks to complete and he took to Facebook on Thursday to say he had used more than 800 cans of spray paint and about 130 liters of acrylic paint. Earlier this year, Parkes man Csaba Belley suggested the Parkes Silos in May Street could have its own version of murals as a way to bring more tourists to town. He went as far as to illustrate rough preliminary ideas for artwork on the silos that an artist could create but said it could "be anything".
