A Tribute to the loss experienced from the Jeeralang Bushfire of February 2009
We decided to place them in a manner that demonstrated a memorial for the loss suffered from the bushfires of 09 that swept through this area.
This cache is placed on the border of an area that was prohibited entry for some time after the fires. When we visited this spot, shortly after the fires, police where still in the area following destruction of property and loss of life. Damage to the terrain is still very obvious, but is recovering really well. After an extended period, there is replanting taking place, and ground cover is thickening up.
The fires swept through the area on 7 February. In their wake they left two fatalities in Hazelwood and one fatality in Jeeralang. In Hazelwood South, eight properties were destroyed, while there was one property lost in Hazelwood North and four in Jeeralang.
The Jeeralang North Hall was extensively damaged, while local timber plantations and farm fencing also sustained significant damage.
