The East Water Tower is a heritage-listed water tower at 17 Sussex Street, Bundaberg East and is a must-visit as it is believed to be the only circular brick tower in Queensland. Given Bundaberg’s relatively flat terrain, this tower is the perfect example of late 19th-century technology – using the increased water pressure provided by the tower in order to allow the reticulated water system to flow through efficiently.
