Bushfire Mosaic in Kyneton

On Februrary 7th 2010, this mosaic was unveiled on the wall of the Kyneton Town Hall, to commemorate the first anniversary of the Black Saturday bushfires. This mural is an artistic expression  of the thoughts and memories of the people who were affected by these devastating bushfires. We visited the mural last weekend and it is  truly magnificent.  Each tile represents a fire affected sight, with black tiles signifying loss and grey tiles indicating a threatened home that was saved.  Every tile tells a story and many tiles are made up of treasured finds amongst the ashes.

If you find yourself in the area, it's worth calling in to Kyneton to check out the mosaic on the wall of the Town Hall.  I'd love to know what you think of it.
