Bongaree Water Tower Art - Queensland

Bongaree is a suburb of Bribie Island in the Moreton Bay Region of Queensland. It is located on the western side of Bribie Island, adjacent to the Pumicestone Passage.

The Bongaree Water Tower was the second water tower to be painted on Bribie Island and was it completed around June 2018. Once again the duo of Mike Shankster and Scott Nagy teamed up to paint another masterpiece. A mural that also brings awareness to the public of the region’s delicate ecosystem and the important balance of humans living in harmony with nature.

Drawing inspiration from Bribie Island’s marine life and waterways, this artwork depicts the thriving aquatic life that is unique to Bribie Island.

The native turtles that return to Bribie Island each year, the lush seagrass beds beyond its shores and the sunrays shining through the pristine waters, provide a glimpse into the paradise that hides just below the water’s surface.

Large-scale murals like these serve a purpose to educate and remind our fellow beings of these issues.
