The Port Moorowie Water Tank Art, created by Sam Brooks in late October 2021, offers a vibrant portrayal of bygone eras in Port
Moorowie.
Reflecting on the region’s rich history, the mural captures scenes of life when the Yorke Peninsula was primarily utilised for sheep
grazing, with vast pastoral stations dominating the landscape.
Among these stations, Moorowie stood out; its name derived from Aboriginal roots meaning ‘sandy water’, encompassing a vast stretch from Hardwicke Bay to the south coast and within its expansive boundaries once stood essential facilities such as
a police station, highlighting its significance.
