Tatura, Victoria

The Tatura water tower art work began in late May 2021 and was unveiled on the 27th June 2021.
The water tower features a waterfall of beautiful Poppies as a tribute to the regions significant Anzac legacy.
On the other side it features a portrait of General Sir John Monash, a WW1 Veteran and renowned civil engineer.
The Tatura water tower was designed by Monash, an engineer and Australian military commander in WWI, with the 364,000 litre-capacity tower completed in 1912.

Anson St, Bourke, NSW

Artist John Murray



In 1962 Gundabooka man Percy Hobson was the first Indigenous athlete to win a medal at the Commonwealth games. At only 20 years old and against all odds this local high jumper broke the record when he leapt over a 6’11 high bar, in Perth’s Perry Lakes stadium. A feat forever establishing Percy as one of Australia’s most iconic sportsmen. 


To pay tribute, his hometown of Bourke, NSW is celebrating Percy Hobson’s achievement by dedicating the Bourke Water Tower as a canvas for a large mural of Percy; a recreation of the iconic photo of Hobson bounding into the air; the moment he earned his first gold medal.

Hi themd
Occasionally as you walk through the bush in Tassie, you come across these small painted water towers
Sometimes they service the nearby facilities but there are others, you wonder what their purpose is
This one is at Five Mile Beach in Southern Tasmania

Took this photo of the water tower at Townsville in Queensland back in 2013 because we were really impressed with the painting on it.
Can now use it as a find for this cache.
Thanks.

Our contribution to this cache is a squat water tower (aka reservoir) in Millmerran in Queensland. The art work is great and very appropriate. Thanks themd for the cache.

We stopped here to take in the views of the sea, and to locate a trig pint. This sarea is Woolgoolga NSW. Whales and underwater selife are painted on the water tank. TFTC

Location: Crn Agnes and Arnold Streets, George Town, Tasmania.

The George Town Water Tower was painted in 1985. The water tank was directed by Wayne Hutchins from New South Wales and Diana North from Launceston. They were assisted by Darren Viney and Michelle Johns of George Town. A special mention went to Cathy, Kevin, Jenny and Heath for helping complete the project.

In Melbourne over the weekend and drove past Tower Road Werribee where I lived for many years while base in the area and noticed the water tower had been painted. Snapped a photo while sitting at the lights (no, I wasn't driving) and can now add it to this cache.

Thanks Themd...(not sure why a codeword is required for this type of Locationless)

The water tower at Slade Point , Mackay

Augathella Qld.
Needs a code word apparently and I can now find one.
This image taken from another image gallery where I used it for a GC find. The Water tower is in Augathella Qld and is in Forest Street Augathella. I lived in Charleville for many years and have been to and continuing to drive through Augathella
on a regular basis. I have added the story about this water from the Internet.

This bright and colourful water tower represents the town of Augathella which has a colourful & unique history full of bullock teams and notorious bushrangers who camped along the Warrego River.

Augathella lies on the Matilda Highway and is 85 kilometres north of the town of Charleville. The township itself was settled as a junction of three tracks, from Charleville in the south, Burenda Station, and from Tampo in the West.
It was at this junction bullock teams camped on the Warrego River long before settlement. In 1880 the town/junction was surveyed and called Ellangowa and in 1883 the township was officially gazetted as Augathella.

Working bullock teams provided the muscle needed in our pioneering days. While Australia rode 'on a sheep's back', the wool that brought the region's prosperity rode the dusty miles from outback stations to the port on lumbering bullock wagons.

Today Bullock Teams are almost a thing of the past, but around the Murweh shire when people talk of the 'good old days' it is the colourful bullocky and his mighty, patient bullocks who are often brought to mind.... one of these popular old Bullocky characters was Frank Welch..... Do you know a Bullocky?????
It was essential for the Augathella community to capture the 'bullock team & wagon' in their epic #TrailblazingtheWest Mural.

Depicted on the tower which was painted by Blender Studios is a bullock team, a boundary rider, windmill and old man emu. TFTL
