The state funeral for the iconic Australian artist, Pro Hart, will be held in outback New South Wales this morning.
A procession of vintage motor cars will pass through the streets of Broken Hill to pay tribute to Mr Hart, who died last week at age 77.
The artist loved cars almost as much as his art and often combined the two, turning his own Rolls Royces into mobile works of art.
More than a thousand guests, including the New South Wales Premier, Morris Iemma, are expected to attend the funeral, which begins at 11am.
