Description
The Tower is part of the 100km scupture trail along the Lachlan River between Forbes and Condobolin. The Tower stands 33km west of Forbes on the stock route at Wilbertroy Lane, the 10.5m tall structure made of silvertop stringybark and blue gum is a symbol of the old water towers.
Sculptor Stephen King, says the water tower has almost been made redundant now, but it's a part of our history.
King said...."Advances in technology continue to change the way we store and use water. The old water towers stand as sculptural relic and reminders of what we leave behind in our attempts to meet the challenges of life on earth."
The figure atop the tower is evocative of the workers who built the infrastructure we rely on. King envisages him waiting for the next piece to come up to him for placement.

Logs
This one kind of looks quite depressing. Reminded me of some of the farmers I drove around this area interviewing back in the drought a few years ago.
Cache was in good order. No muggles around thankfully.
Thanks
