Artists Ursula and Werner Theinert, Peter Biram, Leonie Ryan and Kerrie Warren, have passionately created a body of work based on the Black Saturday Fires that raged through regional Victoria on the 7th of February 2009. Werner and I fought the fire at Callignee. All the artists have been touched by this traumatic time. More....
Greetings from Callignee.
As you may have noticed over the past few months, emails and funnies have been a bit sparse from our end of the internet. Many have written us, asking how things are going and as to our wellbeing - many thanks. We are both well and extremely busy putting our lives back together, following the Firestorms of the 7th of February 2009.
Before The Fire Storm - Green, peace & tranquility

Sometime after the fires we were asked to put together a story with pictures for a proposed new website produced by Regional Arts Victoria (RAV), the Country Fire Authority (CFA) and the Department of Sustainability (DSE). Ursula then produced a Power Point Presentation (Low Res PDF version attached 2MB). You will find the attached PDF is an excellent summary of the events of the day, both in a narrative and in pictures.
Would have been nice to include some pictures of the actual fire, however I seem to remember things were extremely busy at the time!
