The Bellevue Trig Point sits 'proudly' on top of this classically designed and built Water Tower in Sydney's eastern suburbs. A GOOD photo is HARD to get as the streets are well tree-lined.

This water tower on Rivers Street (near the intersection of Bradley Avenue) is built on top of more than a dozen classic columns (possibly x 14). These support a concrete 'collar', with arches under the iron-plated reservoir.
The base of the reservoir is 'open to view', and is supported by further girders and metal posts. There is a lot of diagonal bracing as well.
A guard-railed walkway with slats extends out, and encompasses the top of the round reservoir.
On the top (in the centre) is the Bellevue Trig Point (Official Code: TS837R), being a 'quadrapod' of four metal pipes (~5 cm dia.) that are holding a larger metal pipe (± 20 cm dia.), on top of which is the typical semi-circular vanes. These vanes had been painted orange, over a base of white paint, but quite unmaintained at present. There is a further pipe projecting out of the top, that then supports a radio mast/antenna.
It is possible that this reservoir is designated as WS0010 (unclear from the photo).
