Here, Sellheim provides a graphic depiction of a Corroboree, an Aboriginal dance ceremony. It is one of the very few posters from the era that focuses on the continent's indigenous culture and history as opposed to its natural splendor. Sellheim is most famous for designing the flying kangaroo logo for Qantas Airlines.
