It's Not the Trevi Fountain But . . . .

Day 24 - Cunnamulla, SWQ

. . but not bad for a small western Queensland town of only 1200 people - and not a piece of graffiti in sight.

The fountain was built in 1924 as a memorial to the soldiers of the district who lost their lives in The Great War

It gleaming. An extraordinary fountain for a small town.

[Jane Anderson]

I imagine the story behind it is quite interesting.

[Sharon]

Unique way to pay tribute to the soldiers. It looks well looked after.

[Laurie E Wilson]

Lovely, and yes....very clean. I wish it could be so around where we live. So much graffiti everywhere!

[Tony]

Surprisingly clean, had expected stains from mineral rich water. Great light and capture.

[Connie Little]

That is very clean considering how old it is.

[Diana]

A lovely shot, it looks so clean and modern.

[Helen Sanderson]

I would never have guessed Cunnamulla would have a fountain like that...how odd.

[Peter]

What a wonderful tribute to all those young men, lovely capture full of interesting detail Terry:)

[BarrieH]

it looks in good shape for its age

I had forgotten about this fountain as I have seen it before. It is exactly the same as the fountain in Cameron Park, Wellington, NSW. I was the Parks & Reserves manager for Wellington Shire for 27 years and was made aware of the Cunnamulla fountain through historical research. I visited this fountain in 2010 long after my retirement in 2005.

I feel a bit mean saying it looks a tad out of place, wonderful to see that the memorial is respected.
