Woorim Water Tower Art - Queensland

Woorim is a suburb of Bribie Island in the Moreton Bay Region of Queensland. Its on the eastern, or ocean side of Bribie Island, adjacent to the Pacific Ocean.

The Woorim Water Tower is one of two painted water towers on Bribie Island which were both painted by a rtists Scott Nagy and Mike Shankster in June 2018. 

Working in collaboration with the Bribie Island Community, the design called “Woorim Beach” reflects Bribie Island’s beach culture and the families that have chosen Bribie Island as their home.

Scott and Mike teamed up to paint the water tower after successfully submitting Scott’s idea for the artwork to Street Art Murals Australia. I also believe that it was the first large scale mural, especially something this high that Scott had ever accomplished, fulfilling one of his life long ambitions.

Because of the ground around the tower being mainly sand, it was necessary to source a machine that was propelled by tracks, therefore minimising the chance of it sinking into the sand. 

This artwork forms part of Unitywater’s public art program to enhance the appliance of highly visible water towers and reservoirs.
