Gunnedah Water Tower Museum的点评
点评：A few things before we enter the museum... outside behind the water tower is the Rosewarne Memorial- it was built by the residents just west of Gunnedah as a tribute to its young men who headed off to war. The roll of honour contains the names of fifteen soldiers who enlisted. Two of them, Thomas Torrens (32) and William Cavanagh (26) were killed in action on the Western Front... of the remaining soldiers all were wounded.
There are several information boards outside of the water tower as well. One of those information boards will tell you that Jenny McCracken is the artist who painted the Vietnam Veterans memorial art work that is displayed on the outside of the water tower and for many, this would be the main reason to visit.
There was a man, Tim Shaw, in Australia who made famous a saying, " but wait, there's more"... and indeed we have a perfect example of that. Step inside this water tower and its contents are like many other regional museums... except they are located in this case inside a water tower. You will go up and down stairwells to see everything. The water tower in itself is fascinating.
The water tower was built in 1908 and was the first reservoir constructed in Gunnedah. It remained in service until the late 1950′s when it was eventually replaced by a steel reservoir that had been erected nearby.
As I mentioned you can go up and down these stairs exploring different areas of the museum.. but then there is that last stairwell at the top. It feels like one you would find in a lighthouse... very narrow and curly. Once you make it to the top of the water tower, you are outside and you get a magnificent view of Gunnedah. It's been fenced in for safety but they have little 'windows' in the fencing for photographers... NOT that they help someone who suffers from fear of heights... I stood near the middle and admired from there!

翻译：在我们进入博物馆之前，先说几件事……水塔后面是罗斯沃恩纪念碑——它是由冈尼达西边的居民建造的，以纪念那些奔赴战场的年轻人。荣誉榜上刻有十五名入伍士兵的名字。其中两人，32岁的托马斯·托伦斯和26岁的威廉·卡瓦纳，在西线阵亡……其余士兵全部负伤。
水塔外面还有几块信息板。其中一块信息板会告诉你，珍妮·麦克拉肯是绘制水塔外展出的越战老兵纪念碑艺术作品的艺术家，对很多人来说，这或许是参观的主要原因。
澳大利亚有一位名叫蒂姆·肖的人，他创造了一句名言：“等等，还有更多。”……而我们确实有一个完美的例子。走进这座水塔，里面的展品与其他许多地区博物馆一样……只不过，这里展出的展品位于水塔内部。您将上下楼梯，饱览一切。水塔本身就令人着迷。
这座水塔建于1908年，是冈尼达建造的第一个水库。它一直使用到20世纪50年代末，最终被附近建造的钢制水库所取代。
正如我提到的，您可以上下这些楼梯，探索博物馆的不同区域……但顶部还有最后一个楼梯。它感觉就像灯塔里的楼梯……非常狭窄，蜿蜒曲折。一旦您到达水塔顶部，您就置身于室外，可以欣赏冈尼达的壮丽景色。为了安全起见，塔顶用围栏围了起来，但围栏上有一些小“窗户”供摄影师使用……但这对恐高症患者来说并没有什么帮助……我站在中间附近，从那里欣赏美景！
