A rare and unguarded moment with two icons whose partnership helped shape the sound and spirit of Australia.

Photographed in 1994 at their Sydney home, this portrait brings together Slim Dusty, Joy McKean and their beloved car, Old Purple - by then almost as recognisable as the couple themselves.

At home, at ease - Slim and Joy as the world rarely saw them.

The image captures what made Slim and Joy so enduring - their quiet strength, humour and deep connection to home. There’s no stage, no spotlight - just a glimpse of two people whose music and love story became part of the national fabric.

For collectors, this is a museum-grade print celebrating country music’s most enduring partnership - captured with honesty, warmth and unmistakable Australian character.

Created from a high-resolution scan of the original 1994 transparency, each print is produced to museum standards on archival Hahnemühle fine art paper using pigment inks, ensuring exceptional depth, richness and longevity.

Works from The Sellick Archive are held in the collections of the National Portrait Gallery of Australia, the State Library of South Australia and other major institutions - a reflection of their cultural and historical significance.
