Alexandra Fountain, Municipal fountain at Charing Cross intersection in Bendigo, Australia.
The Alexandra Fountain rises 8.5 meters high with a circular pool spanning 15 meters in diameter, incorporating Harcourt granite and cast iron elements.
The fountain, designed by architect William Vahland in 1881, received its name from Alexandra, Princess of Wales, during the Victorian gold rush period.
Four allegorical female figures, bronze mer-horses, dolphins, and decorative medallions adorn this central landmark, representing local artistic heritage.
The fountain underwent major restoration works in 2017, with updates to plumbing, electrical systems, and structural repairs costing 350,000 Australian dollars.
Twenty tonnes of local granite form the foundation of this fountain, which stands as the second largest municipal water feature in Victoria.
