Celebrating Culture on the Move
Our Indigenous Livery
Our Indigenous Livery Honouring Country Through Art
We are proud to unveil our first Indigenous Livery, a mobile tribute to Australia’s rich First Nations culture. This powerful design, created by renowned Indigenous artist Kevin Bynder, brings meaning, movement, and culture together – making every journey a story worth sharing.
Meet the Artist: Kevin Bynder
Kevin Bynder is a celebrated Noongar-Yamatji artist born in Perth in 1975. His mother is Whadjuk-Yuet Nyungar and his father is Widi-Badimia Yamatji. With strong cultural ties to both Noongar and Yamatji country, Kevin’s art is deeply rooted in the stories, people, and places that have shaped his life.
Kevin began his artistic career at the age of 23, working from Fitzroy Crossing to Broome, where he opened his first art studio. Since then, his vibrant and expressive artworks have gained national and international recognition.
Now based in Osborne Park, Western Australia, Kevin continues to create striking pieces that celebrate Indigenous identity and heritage. Beyond his canvas work, he shares his knowledge through community engagement and education, especially in remote Indigenous schools. His portfolio also includes high-profile collaborations with professional sporting teams such as the Fremantle Dockers, West Coast Eagles, Perth Wildcats, and Port Adelaide Football Club.
The Story Behind the Artwork
The design featured on the XFM livery is inspired by the Yakaan, the Noongar word for sea turtle.
Sea turtles are rarely seen along the Perth coastline but are more commonly found further north in Yamaji country and throughout the Kimberley region. For many coastal Indigenous communities, the sea turtle holds cultural and nutritional significance.
Kevin’s artwork captures the movement of these majestic creatures through flowing waterways and vibrant colours, symbolising the connection between land, sea, and people. The design is not just a tribute to nature but a celebration of Indigenous storytelling and place

Connecting Art, Culture and Transport
This Indigenous livery is more than a design — it’s a mobile representation of identity, heritage, and reconciliation. As the truck travels across the country, it carries with it a message of pride, respect, and cultural storytelling.
