Gunnedah Water Tower Museum

Gunnedah Water Tower Museum

Located near the Dorothea Mackellar Memorial Statue, the Gunnedah Water Tower Museum is a must see if visiting the area. Parking is easy because of the car park near the memorial, or on the road outside.

Only open on Saturday from 10 until 2 you need to time your visit ti go inside.

The art work by Jenny McCracken depicts soldiers of 7RAR waiting for Huey Helicopters, while the rear of the tower shows soldiers paying their respects beside the Long Tan Cross.

Inside the Tower

The Rosewarne Memorial

Situated on the Quia Road, Rosewarne was a small community near Gunnedah. The residents erected this memorial to remember members of the Public School and other local servicemen of World War One. The memorial became forgotten and rarely visited because of the town’s closure. Relocated in 1998 the memorial now sits behind the water tower.

An information board next to the memorial describes its history and the men behind the names on the plaque. If you visit the water tower, take a few minutes to visit the site out the back, because this is something we should all remember.

Wyong New South Wales

Street Art Hely St 2022 Wyong

Wyong New South Wales Australia

Located on the New South Wales Central Coast, Wyong is around an hour’s drive north of Sydney, or an hour’s drive south from Newcastle. We visited to see the historic building and street art as well as visiting Alison Homestead on the outskirts of town.

Our first stop was the Chapman Building, where Glee Coffee have a café where you can grab a morning coffee. Opposite the café, the latest artwork was being installed. Unfortunately, these are taken down after a few months, but replaced a year later by the council.

At Alison Road, a map of the heritage walk has been installed. This is great in case you haven’t looked up the locations of what to see before-hand. Just across the road from the sign is Tightrope Lane, with it’s footpath painted as a tightrope.

We walked around the centre of town having a look at the old courthouse, post office and other buildings before heading off to the Alison Homestead. Another nearby attraction worth seeing is the old Milk Factory which now has a tavern, chocolate and candle making and arts and crafts.

Beaumont Street Pillar People

Following on from her work in Newcastle, Rebecca Murray has transformed the look of Beaumont Street Hamilton (New South Wales, Australia). Telephone pillars are now the Beaumont Street Pillar People, each distinct and reflecting the shops they sit outside of.

We discovered them on a Sunday morning walk down the street while getting a coffee. Well known for its eateries, the addition of street art adds to the fun of going to Beaumont Street.

Large Electrical Boxes

Not only have the telephone switches been decorated, but the electrical switch boxes have been transformed.

Small Electrical Boxes

Smaller electrical boxes haven’t been forgotten either, because each is transformed to a mouse sized building. It was fun to see what the next one would be painted as.

Mosaics and Planter Boxes

Decorating the pavement along Beaumont Street mosaics located outside many businesses add even more colour. Unfortunately, foot-traffic has damaged some of them over the years, but many are still in good condition. We are not sure which artist did the mosaics and planted boxes, but they are colourful and great to see.

While walking around, don’t forget to look up because there are some great old buildings there too. We enjoyed our Sunday morning walk here, great coffee and food, along with the great artwork.
