Notes

This poster was designed for the 24 hr Art (Northern Territory Centre for Contemporary Art) members show. Crocodiles always feature heavily in the N.T. news which costs 80c per edition but is more likely worth about 10c. This poster highlights the contempt that the local government has for the mangroves surrounding turning. Slowly turning this incredible habitat into Queensland style (Sylvania Waters) developments.
