Information

When German immigrant Arno Grotjhan dug up a valuable opal at Opalton in the 1960s, he was able to afford a house in Winton and then spent the rest of his life building Arno’s Wall. Arno’s Wall is two metres high and runs for more than 70 metres, so it takes a while to walk around it. The wall is constructed from concrete and rock brought in from Arno’s opal mine at Opalton and is studded with old lawnmower parts, boat propellers, old machinery from businesses in Winton, vintage typewriters, even a couple of complete motorbikes. And yes, Arno did throw in the kitchen sink!
