EastLink Art
EastLink's public artworks
EastLink’s significant investment in public sculpture has transformed the roadway into Australia’s largest sculpture park.
The four major artworks displayed beside the road were commissioned from respected Australian artists Callum Morton, Emily Floyd, James Angus and Simeon Nelson.
A further eight sculptures - all by recognised artists - are distributed along the EastLink Trail.
EastLink 5km Indigenous Art Trail
The EastLink 5km Indigenous Art Trail is an outstanding community art collaboration between Mullum Mullum Indigenous Gathering Place (MMIGP), Croydon Hills Men’s Shed, Mullum Mullum parkrun, EastLink and Whitehorse City Council.
Created in 2023, the EastLink 5km Indigenous Art Trail includes 12 wooden art poles painted by local Indigenous artists, located alongside the EastLink Trail in Mullum Mullum valley.
The route of the EastLink 5km Indigenous Art Trail is purposefully exactly the same as the route of the 5km Mullum Mullum parkrun event that is held every Saturday morning at 8am.
A Shared Path at the EastLink operations centre
The EastLink operations centre in Ringwood is the heart and soul of EastLink.
This is where the EastLink team is based - more than 200 people. Our corporate visitors come to meet us here. And customers attend our customer centre here.
That's why the EastLink operations centre is the perfect location for this new installation of A Shared Path, by local Aboriginal Artist Holly McLennan-Brown.
This artwork is centred around a journey line symbolising EastLink, with surrounding patterns of circles and lines representing the diverse areas of employment and the staff network working together. Inspired by conversations about the warmth and humanity within EastLink, smaller community circles and Coolamons were included to reflect the care provided for both Country and community. Waterways at the top and bottom acknowledge the wetlands and sustainability efforts, while the EastLink Trail is marked as a pathway through the piece. Layers of green, along with Gum leaves, Kangaroo tracks, Banksia and Gum blossoms represent the flora and fauna.
Holly is a Yorta Yorta Artist living and creating on Wurundjeri Country (Naarm). In 2020 she founded her business as a way to share a deep love for art, culture and storytelling. What began as a creative outlet has grown and evolved in step with her own journey.
Her work is ever-changing, shaped by lived experiences, identity and the world around her. In 2024 she became a mother, adding a profound new layer to her practice and the stories she chooses to tell.
A Shared Path will be displayed at the EastLink operations centre until 2028. It will then be replaced by another Aboriginal Artwork. The original painting will continue to be displayed in the EastLink boardroom.
