Planes of highway concrete smooth the transit between Sydney and Canberra, so the resulting stitches have not strayed as far across the fabric as the previous cloth. Instead, the stitches are more densely packed - a road map of the streamlined journey. Collected rubbings from both ends of the trip stain the fabric with a combination of dark exhaust stains and exposed earth. Stitching time was 4 hrs 45 mins over 479 kms.
