The rapid obsoleteness of technology is a major concern for those who feel responsible for ensuring a sustainable future. As technology becomes more advanced, newer equipment comes into operation and out-of-date equipment is readily disposed of. Whilst waiting to be recycled in a scrap yard in the western suburbs, these railway carriages have become vehicles for graffiti. The End of the line series captures the unseen beauty in something which is usually regarded as ugly scrap.
