Artist's Description
Road Train to Pormpuraaw Cape York Queensland Australia by Joan Stratton - Australian outback unsealed roads can be very dangerous, this painted piece shows the dust storm created by a road train, transportation truck with several trailers attached, as it makes its way along the road from Musgrave Road House through to the coastal aboriginal community of Pormpuraaw, Cape York, Queensland, Australia.
As this section of road is fairly narrow, we parked up on the side of the road while we waited for the truck with its many trailers to pass and the dust to settle so we could ensure there were no other vehicles travelling behind in the dust, before we continued our journey. Generally on the Cape everyone drives a 4 wheel drive car and the journey down Cape York from Weipa to visit our Grandchildren in Pormpuraaw takes about 7hrs driving. Thankfully the road is not like this the whole way and there are a few sealed sections to get a bit of a break from the bumpy corrugations.

About Joan Stratton
Welcome to Paintings By Joan - Art & Design By Joan P Stratton. I live in the tropical far north, Cape York, Queensland, Australia. My beautiful home and country is the inspiration for my art. I began my working career in Melbourne, as a trainee in graphic art, technical drawings and drafting for a mining and engineering company. With the diversity of work available to me, I gained vast experience with all manner of mediums prior to the advent of computers. In the mid '80s, as a side-line to my permanent employment, I designed and prepared artwork for record covers (Albums, Eps), promotional ads and flyers for rock bands that marketed their music independently. I see myself as a mixed media artist, I love every medium and they all...
