Cavalcade of Transport Mural

The Cavalcade of Transport mural by Harold Freedman is located in Southern Cross Station shopping centre: Spencer Street.

The 36.6 metre long and 7.32 metre high History of Transport mural featured across the main concourse of the Spencer Street railway station (now Southern Cross Railway Station), depicting the first century of transport in Victoria (1835-1935), was commissioned by the State Government in 1973.

Painted by State Artist, Harold Freedman (1915-99), and two assistants, the work was completed in January 1978.

The mural, a realist oil painting on canvas mounted on plywood, was painted in five main sections at the East Camberwell railway substation, and erected in stages above the Spencer Street station concourse

Location

Today, the Cavalcade of Transport Mural is located in Southern Cross Station but when it was installed the building was called Spencer Street Station. The mural is located behind Spencer Outlet Centre on Level 1, high up on the back wall, stretching across Harris Scarfe and T K Maxx department stores.
