Coobowie Water Tank Mural
Yorke Peninsula
Free
Tucked along Gumbowie Road, the Coobowie Water Tank may be modest in size at four metres high, but its striking mural bursts with colour, movement, and local identity. Completed over 16 days by the artist duo Creature Creature (Chanel Tang and Ambrose Rehorek) in collaboration with Jason Parker, the artwork is a vivid celebration of Coobowie's unique birdlife and coastal flora.
Painted using a mix of hand techniques and spray gun application, the mural wraps the tank in a flowing design that captures the essence of the nearby Coobowie estuary and reserve. Birds take centre stage, with graceful depictions of the Great Egret, Black Swan, Royal Spoonbill, Pelican, Cape Barren Goose, and Pied Oystercatcher shown mid-motion or in serene poses. Interwoven with these feathered residents are striking botanical details, including Pigface, Mallee Bush Pea, Coastal White-Mallee, Osbornes Eyebright, and Clover Glycine — each rendered with bold lines and vibrant colour.
Together, the imagery reflects not just what makes Coobowie special, but how deeply place and environment are interlinked. The mural stands as both a visual landmark and a gentle invitation to pause and notice the natural life that surrounds this coastal township.
This project was proudly supported through the AusTrade Bushfire Recovery Grant, in collaboration with the Coobowie Progress Association, Yorke Peninsula Council, Yorke Peninsula Tourism, SA Water, and Wellbeing SA.
