Waltzing Matildas
Waltzing Matildas
Matt Tilbury of The Tilbury Press in Bondi came up with this Matildas Poster. We saw it on the toilet block at the south end of the beach, above Not Not’s finless mural.
Remo was on the phone to them post-haste and the T Shirts etc. are available now. See HERE.

This is the copy from the relevant REMO page:
“We weren't planning to jump on the Matildas band wagon … that is until we stumbled across a letterpress version of this design while walking home from our morning sauna and swim at the Bondi Icebergs Pool on the morning of the FIFA Women's World Cup Semi-Final against England. Melanie shot it for today's Bondi Observer blog, and I sent a quick email to Matt Tilbury at The Tilbury Press. As it happens he was in the ocean and swimming the bay, but he did manage to send us a better photo of his baby, which we sent to Aivi our designer, along with a pleading note to spend 30 minutes cleaning it up to make it REMO-design-ready. And here it is. Go the Matildas!
Matt Tilbury is a master printer and designer who's dedicated to the traditional art of letterpress printing. It's a craft that's changed little in over 500 years, since the dawn of printing. From his Sydney studio perched above the cliffs of Bondi, Matt utilises a large collection of wood and metal fonts to create beautiful typographic art.”
