Set on a hot orange ground, this poster pairs a rider on a camel with a train crossing the open desert under the words "Travel by Trans-Australian Railway - Across Australia." The image places the old way of crossing the outback beside the new. The Trans-Australian Railway ran across the continent from Port Augusta in South Australia toward Western Australia, and dealer notes on the line's posters point out that it served as a supply route to the outback and helped open the country between Port Augusta and the Western Australian border. The artist of this design is not recorded.

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.

Note: Bags not intended for use by children 12 and under.
