Duncan Peat, 13 of Eltham High School and Alanah Chapman, 11 of Strathewen Primary School were inspired by the natural regeneration following the Black Saturday Bushfires. 

The two children hosted "Nature Heals" an exhibition of their photographs.  bushfirephotos.tripod.com/

Their exhibition attracted the attention of Mick Best,  Fleet Manager for Linfox, who organised the production of a 2010 Calendar,  "From the Ashes",  featuring selected images from the "Nature Heals" exhibition. 

100% of the proceeds from the sale of these calendars will assist the recovery of Strathewen Primary School.  Calendars are $20 each with all proceeds going towards the recovery of Strathewen Primary School.
