Spirit of Brisbane
The Spirit of Brisbane is a tribute to this great city, its people and their community spirit. The livery celebrates Brisbane's ‘mud army’ that came together to help clean-up after the 2011 floods. The interior depicts a montage of photographs of the clean up performed by some 25,000 volunteers during the disaster. It also includes the flotilla of vessels that commemorated the return of the iconic CityCats and ferries after the flood.
The commemorative wrap has a special colour scheme. Blue represents the sky and river, green reflects new growth after the flood and maroon for the Queensland spirit. The yellow sunbeam represents the sun that shone across the sky as Brisbane reclaimed its city.
INAS Global Games 2019
The INAS Global Games 2019 decorative wrap aimed to promote the games held in Brisbane between 9-19 October 2019. The games are run by the International Federation for Athletes with Intellectual Impairments and consist of an international sporting event and convention.
