This delightful water tank, affectionately known as the ‘Emu Tank’ due to its unique and eye-catching design, was painted by the talented Jason Swales of Studio Surf in April 2021.
Nestled within the breathtaking landscape of one of the Yorke Peninsula's stunning pink lakes, the tank stands as a remarkable blend of artistic expression and the natural beauty that surrounds it. The vibrant mural adds a striking contrast to the serene, pastel hues of the lake, creating a harmonious fusion of art and nature.
When visiting the ‘Emu Tank’, it's worth taking the time to explore the nearby ruins of the Lake Fowler Salt Works, located along Lake Fowler Road. These historic ruins provide a fascinating glimpse into the area’s industrial past, offering visitors a deeper understanding of the region’s history and the once-thriving salt production industry.
Moreover, don’t miss the opportunity to admire the impressive stretch of dry-stone walling that lines several roads in the area, including along New Honiton Road south of Lake Fowler. These historic stone walls, which have stood the test of time, add an extra layer of character to the landscape, showcasing the craftsmanship and heritage of the region. Exploring these features is a wonderful way to connect with the past while soaking in the beauty of the present.
