Horsham City Council will collaborate with the Barengi Gadjin Land Council and the traditional owners of the area to commission a large-scale public artwork called Found on Country Reimagining of lost in the Bush.
The project will be displayed on a local silo and illuminated at night.
The artwork will tell the story of three children who went missing in the Wimmera scrub in 1864 and were found by traditional owners nine days later.
