Kingaroy Peanut Silos, Agricultural storage facility in Kingaroy, Australia.

Three concrete silos rise 42 meters into the sky at Haly Street, providing storage space for 16,000 tonnes of peanuts before processing.

The Queensland Peanut Marketing Board commissioned these storage structures between 1938 and 1951, marking the expansion of regional peanut production.

The silos stand as central elements of Kingaroy's identity as the Peanut Capital of Australia, representing the agricultural foundation of the community.

The vertical design incorporates mechanical systems across multiple levels, enabling efficient peanut storage and management through specialized bins.

A fire in 1951 destroyed the original No. 1 Silo, affecting peanut production across Australia for more than twelve months.
