Rainbow Beach Surf Lifesaving Club Tower


The Rainbow Beach Surf Lifesaving Club Patrol Tower. A simple piece of architecture built to serve a purpose.
A simple little building; built for a practical purpose to do a practical job... but Beautiful.
The patrol tower reminds me of Vetruvius's famous statement that architecture must embody the three qualities "utilitas, firmitas, venustas" - That is that a building must be useful, solid and beautiful.
