Kallangur Water Tower
A black cockatoo, with vibrant orange, blue and black plumage, soars across the top of this mural on the iconic water tower. Titled Symbiosis, it depicts the balance in the environment. While the cockatoo is known to signify rain, the Xanthorea bush covering the base was traditionally used to start fire. Together they symbolise the regeneration of the local area. The Kallangur, Petrie, Murrumba Downs, Kurwongbah and Dakabin communities were instrumental in choosing the design.

Peregian Beach Reservoir
Local resident and artist Colin Passmore regularly drove past this water reservoir and thought the structure would make a great canvas. This mural depicts a stand of Melaleuca trees, commonly known as paperbark trees. The artwork, titled ‘Peregian Sand’ was a clear favourite of local residents, who had a vision for an artwork that would camouflage the water tower into the surrounding native vegetation.

Locals drive past the familiar kookaburra, sitting front and centre of the mural alongside vibrant plumeria flowers, as they go about their day. Local resident Julie Robson, who passed away in 2014, actively campaigned to have the artwork commissioned.
