点评:You can see the wine bottle for miles out of town... and you have to wonder what it is... curiosity and all. As you drive towards it you will realise that it may not quench your thirst after a day in the office, but the size of the bottle is getting close to what you will need to relax after a stressful day. :)
Once you are there, you can appreciate the view looking back out over the area... and then of course, there is a large bottle to understand. This is the tower for the water trust ... it was completed in 1900. It is 117 feet tall, and 30 feet in diameter ( see what I mean... it's getting close to the size of a bottle you need after a stressful work day).
It started life as a water tower, bringing water from the Murray River to the township... and for awhile it was the only consistent water supply for the town. In 1945 a reservoir was constructed and this tower was taken out of service in the 1960s.
But in 1967... they were focussed on tourism in Rutherglen and the wine festival committee had an idea. 💡 And this is where the wine bottle came into being... it is now a landmark for the town.
It's a lovely thing to see whilst visiting the town and as stated... it's more than just a wine bottle... it's a bit of a lookout for the area as well.
翻译:你在城外几英里的地方就能看到这个酒瓶……你不得不好奇它是什么……好奇心和一切。当你开车去的时候,你会意识到它可能无法在办公室工作一天后解渴,但瓶子的大小已经接近你在紧张的一天后放松所需的大小了。:)
到达那里后,你可以欣赏到该地区的景色……当然,还有一个大瓶子需要了解。这是水信托的塔……它于 1900 年建成。它高 117 英尺,直径 30 英尺(明白我的意思吧……它已经接近你在紧张的工作一天后需要的瓶子的大小了)。
它最初是一座水塔,将墨累河的水输送到镇上……有一段时间,它是该镇唯一稳定的供水来源。1945 年,一座水库建成,这座塔在 20 世纪 60 年代停止使用。
但在 1967 年……他们专注于 Rutherglen 的旅游业,葡萄酒节委员会有了一个想法。💡 这就是葡萄酒瓶诞生的地方……它现在是该镇的地标。
在参观小镇时看到它是一件很美妙的事情,正如所说……它不仅仅是一个葡萄酒瓶……它也是该地区的一个瞭望台。
