Bright Embers: Tell your story, your way
Almost everybody, whether directly impacted (by the February 2009 bushfires or not), has been affected in some form. This may be through personal loss, re-living of past trauma, working with people directly impacted, or through an emotional response to the images and stories portrayed by the media.
All people for whom the February 2009 bushfires has evoked an emotional response have their own individual stories, recollections and accounts of that experience. This may be their own or their family’s experience, how the media stories and images made them feel, or what they were doing and how they heard about the devastation.

Storyboard: Share your story
Created in response to the 2009 Victorian bushfires, STORYBOARD provides you with a creative space to share your photos, videos, artworks and stories with others who have been affected by this devastating event. An ongoing project, STORYBOARD is also a safe place to archive your precious images and record local histories.
Stories can be viewed on the map chronologically using a simple timeline as well as by topic in the tag cloud. Alternatively you can switch to gallery mode and view images and videos in time order or by topic.
For more information phone 9644 1800 or visit the STORYBOARD website.
