says:Love the idea of aboriginal art of Qantas aircraft and I hope it continues. I have to say The Balarinji team’s deconstruction and conceptualisation of the paintings into aircraft designs (in my mind and I know many other aviation enthusiasts who have comment similarly) just doesn’t do justice to the art. Maybe time to give the job to another company to adapt the art for Qantas and come up with something far more breathtaking?
