Centenary Gardens
These beautifully kept gardens were built in 1936 to commemorate the town of Bunbury's Centenary. In 2006 a gift of a "floating stone" was presented to the community of Bunbury from Aqwest Bunbury Water Board to celebrate the Board's 100th year of service to Bunbury and the close long term working relationship between the Board and the City of Bunbury.
Less than 100 metres from this location is the site of Bunbury's first public well, excavated through basalt more than 100 years ago. The stone was crafted by Richard Williamson. The rotating 1500mm diameter green sphere (a combination of Brecciated Marble and Granulitic Schist) sits a raised base of black granite surrounded by a porous pavement of local basalt. The sphere rotates on a film of pressurised water and it's direction can be altered by the touch of a hand. The colour and wave pattern of the sphere promotes the water theme and reflects Aqwest's logo and corporate colours. The sphere promotes water conservation as it uses very little water.
