Noosa Tourism Office (QLD)

This gorgeous O fountain was unveiled in stunning Noosa, Queensland. 🇦🇺🌴☀️ Isn’t it a beauty!

Located outside the Noosa Tourist Information Bureau, we collaborated with Noosa Shire Council and Unitywater as part of their ongoing commitment to providing water bottle refilling stations to remove the reliance on single-use plastic water bottles.

Local contemporary indigenous artist Dr. Bianca Beetson was commissioned to design and paint an original Noosa essence water theme onto the water fountain, celebrating Noosa’s indigenous heritage.

Bianca notes that “The pink lines represent the ocean and the connected rivers and waterways around the Noosa region, while also representing my matriarchal bloodline and connection to country.

“The surrounding colours represent the Noosa landscape, various native flora and fauna representing the colours of the map of Aboriginal Australia”

The colours also draw on the energy and vibe of summertime in Noosa and in particular, Hastings Street – the vibrancy of the people, surfboards, towels, shopfronts, animals, and movement.

To see public spaces coming together that honour and capitalise on our Indigenous connection to place is wonderful.
