An exciting new exhibition celebrating the adventures of two pioneering Australian women and their extraordinary 1920s cross-country journey by car. Eat My Dust!, based on the children's picture book of the same name and featuring the artwork of award-winning Queensland illustrator Lucia Masciullo, presents Lucia's vivid collection of original illustrations featured in the colourful children's book by Australian author and poet Neridah McMullin. The two women at the centre of the exhibition, Jean Robertson and Kathleen Howell, were both pioneering long-distance motorists and adventurers who helped map Australia in 1928. The exhibition also presents a selection of Lucia's working drawings, research materials and original designs, complemented by historical memorabilia, artefacts, maps and photographs taken in 1927-1928 by Jean and Kathleen during their epic journey across the Nullarbor, accessed from the State Library Victoria Collection. Eat My Dust! is open to the public at The Centre Beaudesert, 10am to 4pm Tuesday to Friday and on Saturdays from 10am to 2pm from 19 September to 12 December excluding public holidays.
