To help mark the 70th anniversary of the United Nations, iconic monuments, buildings, landscapes, museums, bridges and other landmarks across the globe will be lit up blue - the official colour of the United Nations, on UN Day, 24 October 2015.
The City of Greater Shepparton will be showing our support with the Mooroopna Water Tower to be projecting the colour blue as part of the Turn the World UN Blue campaign.
This is a unique way to promote the message of peace, development and human rights, and our commitment to the principles of dignity and prosperity for all.
Locals are encouraged to use the #UN70 hashtag when sharing their pictures and videos of the blue Mooroopna Tower on social media.
