Black Saturday chimney

February 10, 2010 07:15 by Luke

The Forest Gallery at Melbourne Museum now contains a chimney- salvaged from a Kinglake home burnt on Black Saturday and reconstructed brick by brick in the gallery.  It serves as a symbol of the devastating February 2009 bushfires and provides a point of reflection on the impact of fires on Victorians' lives over time and across the state.
