The Woolgoolga Water Tower Art was painted by Mr Lee Holmes, a prominent artist in the Coffs Harbour area, with this particular artwork inaugurated on the 11th of January, 2011.


The mural is starting to show signs of weathering due to its location high on this headland near Woolgoolga Beach.


The artwork was expected to take nine to 13 weeks to paint, but with bad weather and other circumstances, it took around seven months to complete. The mural depicts the annual migration of the humpback whale, which can usually be observed off the Woolgoolga Headland between May and October.
