Gallery: Waters to run Indigenous helmet design in Darwin

Tickford Racing driver Cameron Waters will campaign a unique Indigenous helmet design at this weekend’s Merlin Darwin Triple Crown.

The helmet design was created by Aboriginal artist Chantelle Mitchell, a member of the Barkindji Nation. Mitchell, like Waters, hails from Mildura.

The 20-year-old's artistry came to the fore this year when Richmond full-forward Courtney Wakefield commissioned the 20-year old to paint a pair of boots for the AFLW's Indigenous Round in February.

Mitchell's work for Waters' helmet is inspired by the Mildura region, including the Murray River symbolised in blue across the top of the helmet.

It comes after the Shell V-Power Racing Team revealed it will run a livery on its two Ford Mustangs.
