Melbourne’s First Nation-designed Art trams have been unveiled for 2022. The brief to artists was to be Bold Bright and BLak. This Art tram is from a reproduction by artist Lin Onus. Onus represented balanced opposites—circle and triangles, day and night, black and white cockatoos referencing cultural markings symbolic of country and first people designs—To contrast Roberts 9x5. Painting of Melbourne first tram in 1889 ... but also timely in the year of 'the voice' referendum debate.
