Hi Doris, it is in Kyneton, Victoria, Australia - both Victoria and New South Wales suffered from shocking bushfires that year and we have had plenty since but not with such loss of life. Currently it is 40C here in Adelaide and catestrophic fire warnings in place.

Very interesting ad very personal. Did the residents have input into the design of the individual leaves or based on interviews with residents or strickly artist generated. I am curious. What is the name of he town ?
