Australian Trivia Only

Drop in and dribble on about nothing serious. Seriously a mad place to hang out. Better to avoid it if you're not in the mood!!! If you're determined to be sad, bad, mad & angry then move along!!!

Well I never would have guessed that in a million years. When I lived in that town, that wall was rendered and painted white.
Hint: It isn't Daylesford.

Not Bendigo. And it is between Halls Gap and Molesworth [emoji6] But not Daylesford.

Damn. Have the same photo but cannot remember what year to check the photos! Definitely not going to try to find but know we were on our way up to Seymour to see Joe & Joy for the weekend.

Found it- Kyneton. Nearly said that before but was not too sure. Did read what it was there for but no idea now. Do I get 1/2 point?

You can have the full point Kay. The mosaic commemorates the Black Saturday bushfires that occurred on Saturday, 7th February, 2009 with the loss of 173 lives. The mosaic is difficult to photograph because of its size but is well worth a visit to see the detail if in the area.

More information can be found at http://monumentaustralia.org.au/themes/ ... -bushfires

Your turn Kay.

If you want to see a real memorial to those poor people that lost their lives in the fires that weekend, then go to Marysville Vic.
Most of the main street is rebuilt now, but there are still quite a few front fences and driveways to nowhere on a vacant block.
It is about as stark a reminder as you could get.
