A train runs beneath towering red rock in this Commonwealth Railways poster inviting Australians to spend their winter holidays in the Centre. Commonwealth Railways was the federal government's railway operator, and its line north from South Australia carried travelers toward the red heart of the continent. Winter was the season to go, when the desert days were mild and the outback colors at their richest. The poster pairs the railway's progress with the ancient landscape it crossed. The artist and exact date are not recorded here.
The bag is made from 10-ounce canvas of 80% recycled cotton and 20% cotton. The recycled fibers are collected from garment-cutting waste and then intertwined with cotton for added strength and durability. Self-fabric handles. Dimensions: 15.75" h x 15.25" w; approx. 240 cubic inches.
