Minlacowie Water Tank Mural

Yorke Peninsula

Free
Completed in March 2023, the striking Minlacowie Water Tank Mural stands 5.8 metres high and stretches nearly 100 metres around. Created by renowned artist Mike Makatron, with assistance from Conrad Bizjak, Harley Hall, Dylan Butler, Jason Swales, and Sabine Meyer, this enormous artwork was shaped through extensive consultation with the local community and Narungga Elders.

Celebrating the heart of the Yorke Peninsula, the mural beautifully reflects the region's Narungga culture, agricultural heritage, and natural coastal beauty. It features Narungga totem animals — the kangaroo, emu, shark, and eagle — along with traditional linework, the symbol for 'community', and depictions of local flora and seascapes.

The mural's sheer scale and detail make it a must-see in person. Whether you visit as a standalone trip or as part of the Southern Yorke Peninsula Water Tower Mural Trail, this breathtaking piece is a celebration of culture, land, and creativity.

The Yorke Peninsula is the traditional lands of the Narungga (Nharangga) people, who have lived on, and cared for, this country since the beginning of time. We work, live and travel on Nharannga Banggara [Country], and we take time away from those pursuits to acknowledge and pay our deep respects to the Nharangga Elders of the past and present. 

Today, it is essential that we continue to care for and protect our spectacular natural environment. Tread lightly and leave no trace. Learn more about responsible and respectful travel on Yorke Peninsula.
