A vibrant new mural showcasing the journey of water through Tasmania’s landscapes has been unveiled at Tolosa Park in Glenorchy.
The large-scale artwork, created by local artist Harrison Bowe, spans two reservoir tanks in the park. It aims to inspire locals to connect with and appreciate the origins of their water supply. Featuring community-selected designs of Mount Gould and the Styx River, the mural blends harmoniously with its natural surroundings.
“The idea was to visually trace the path water takes to reach these tanks—and eventually people’s homes,” Bowe explained. “Many don’t realise how vast the Derwent River catchment is. The mural even includes the Du Cane Range, which forms part of that watershed.”
Bowe added that the mural transforms the water tanks from functional infrastructure into a public artwork the entire community can enjoy.
