QANTAS Boeing 737-800 VH-XZJ in the Mendoowoorrji Livery. Mendoowoorrji was the fourth aircraft (B737-838) in the series, inspired by the work of late West Australian Aboriginal painter, Paddy Bedford. Mendoowoorrji is an interpretation of Bedford's 2005 painting Medicine Pocket, which captures the essence of Bedford's mother's country called Mendoowoorrji.
