Caloundra Water Tank Art

The Caloundra Water Tank is located in Queen Street and it had its makeover in December 2014.

It stands Seven metres tall and is now 78 years-old. The iconic landmark in the past was an easy target for graffiti vandalism, but now stands proud with a stunning display of native flora and fauna, a tranquil hinterland scene.

Painted by unknown local artists in conjunction with Unitywater.
