It was one of four silo art stamps to be created and will be available across Australia.
A commemorative booklet was also created, which featured Wimmera photographer and videographer Lynton Brown’s artwork.
Australia Post philatelic manager Michael Zsolt said silo art has become iconic across Australia for the past three years.
He said the artwork are a magnificent symbol of local people, natural environment, history and industries that are at the heart of these rural communities.
“The remarkable painted grain silos have revitalised the local towns, many of which have suffered from drought or population attrition," he said.
“These murals have put these small country towns firmly on the national and international map, attracting an increasing number of visitors.”
The three other stamps that are a part of the commemorative issue featured silo art work from New South Wales, Queensland and Western Victoria.
