Look at the first picture.
That looks like a Red Samba in the background

Cool Pics Chris.
The red tower reminded us of european architecture when we drove past it, so we read up on it a little and saw that it is in fact know as the Campanile, and was built to commemorate the landing of the 1820 settlers, built around 1920. Only found out later you can actualy still go to the top of the tower!. Difference to a pic taken of the tower these days is that only the top half (If I recall correctly) is now visible above the highway.
