Centralian artist Chantelle Mulladad transforms world famous Ghan passenger train into a moving piece of art

A central Australian Aboriginal artist who has transformed the world famous Ghan passenger train into a moving piece of art…. says she was so excited to see her painting on the train when it arrived in Mparntwe Alice Springs on Thursday morning.

Eastern Arrentre woman, Chantelle Mulladad, from Ltyentye Apurte (Santa Teresa) Aboriginal community 80km south-east of Alice Springs says she was inspired to paint after watching her aunty and mum create their own paintings.

Three carriages of the world-famous train have been wrapped in Mulladad’s stunning design Crossroads and to complement the external artwork a spectacular immersive light installation displays a taste of things to come at Parrtjima “ A Festival in Light 2021” as the Ghan travels from Darwin to the Red Centre.
