Mr Whitehead, who is afraid of heights, installed the artwork on the water tower himself, climbing a 16m ladder and walking around the 30cm rim of the tower carrying an 8kg bracket and 8m of cable. Once the bracket and cable were in place a cherry picker raised the spider into position and the sculpture was secured with three cables.
Andrew Whitehead's sculptures can be found adorning much of the landscape North of the Murray, including Mulwala, Lowesdale and Boree Creek.
