Discover more about Tatura Water Tower Art

The Tatura Water Tower stands as a proud landmark, not only for its functional role in the town's water supply but also for its striking mural that tells a story of history and remembrance. Designed by Sir John Monash, a prominent engineer and military commander, the tower was completed in 1912 and remains the earliest surviving example of a reinforced concrete tower of its kind in Victoria. In 2021, artists Cam Scale and Andrew Davis added a new layer to the tower's legacy by creating a mural that pays tribute to Sir John Monash and the region's Anzac history. One side of the tower features a detailed portrait of Monash, while the other displays a cascade of vibrant red poppies, symbolizing remembrance and honoring the sacrifices of service members. The mural project was a community effort, with support from the Tatura RSL, the Tatura Rotary Club, and the Victorian Government. The Tatura Water Tower is more than just a visual attraction; it's a tangible link to the community's past and a testament to the vision of Sir John Monash. Visitors can view the tower under lights between 8 pm and 10 pm daily, enhancing the experience of this iconic landmark. The surrounding park provides a serene environment to relax and appreciate the artwork.
