After the Deluge : flood recovery project / City of Darebin.

CD track listings -- Newspaper coverage -- After the Deluge words.

"In December 2003 the City of Darebin was hit by 'the worst storm in 100 years'. While the whole of metropolitan Melbourne was affected, areas within Darebin were the worst hit with people?s homes, schools and businesses severely damaged and even devastated by flooding... In the weeks following the floods a group of City of Darebin officers got together to talk about the collective community spirit they observed during this time and the willingness of residents to support each other in the face of adversity... Out of this grew the After the Deluge Project. Its aims were to utilise artistic expression and to develop and promote the emerging community spirit brought on by shared adversity and the need to rebuild after the floods. The project would allow members of the community to express their hopes and fears and help them come to terms with their changed lives." -- p. 5.
