Geelong Kokoda Youth Program There is a video clip for each year 2013 to 2018.

Guest speaker Andy Brittain showed the 2018 clip.

The 2013 clip is well worth watching as it sets the scene.

Black Saturday There was only time to show the very beginning of this short

reflection of the Black Saturday fires which ravaged Victoria

on 7/2/2009 - 10 years ago.

As well as the devastation it shows how the Strathewen

community responded with two Art Projects to help their

community members in their recovery.

It also shows the Blacksmiths Tree which stands 10 metres

high in Strathewen. It has more than 3000 forged leaves

made by blacksmiths around the world. It is dedicated to

those who were lost in the Black Saturday fires,

the brave CFA men and women who fought the fires

and the Strathewen community.

The inscription reads:

I have risen from the flames

I have stetched across the earth

I am shining with your name.
