And their eyes aren’t deceiving them, as the journey to transform the 500 sq m structure into a work of art has just hit its stride.
Now cleaned, sealed and primed, the water tank will sit in preparation for artist Jimmy Dvate’s arrival on February 8.

The art process is expected to be completed by March 8.
Kyabram Project Committee chair Allan Weeks said this milestone was a long time coming, and that Kyabram’s residents should look forward to seeing the water tank transform throughout February.
“It’s certainly exciting to see, especially after four years of working on it,” he said.
“A few people have noted to me that it definitely looks cleaner.
“The Kyabram Project Committee would also like to thank Goulburn Valley Water Kyabram plant manager Rodd O’Donnell for his continuing cooperation.”
