East Water Tower, Heritage water tower in Bundaberg, Australia.
The East Water Tower stands 35 meters tall, featuring red-brown glazed bricks, tapering walls, and rounded windows with blind arches throughout its structure.
Built between 1900 and 1902, the tower marked a crucial development in Bundaberg's infrastructure as part of the city's first reticulated water supply system.
The tower walls contain carved graffiti dating back to the 1920s, reflecting generations of local residents who interacted with this municipal structure.
Located at 17 Sussex Street, the tower maintains its original function as a water storage facility, with its tank now lined with concrete for protection.
James Baillie Henderson, Queensland's first government hydraulic engineer and discoverer of artesian water, designed this eight-story industrial structure.
