“Watering Werribee” is the title of the mural painted on the Water Tower at 1 Tower rd Werribee at the Southern Rural Water Offices.
The mural features depictions of people that were inspired by historical reference photos supplied. Due to the age and low resolution of the photos models were used to recreate these figures and create portraits that are not a representation of any particular person, but rather a depiction of the kind of work and workers that played a vital role in the history of the areas water supply.
