This week is Bushfire Awareness Week. To mark this occasion we were inspired by our Deputy-Director, Jenni Stapleton, and her passion for connecting archives and community to show you some posters promoting bushfire awareness in times past!
Take a look at the handy tips for Bushfire Awareness Week on the NSW Rural Fire Service Website to see some present day examples. Coleridge doesn’t get a look in!

These posters were produced by the Bush Fire Committee. The Hon. Christopher Augustus Kelly was the Chief Secretary from 1 April 1959 to 13 May 1965. Prior to April 1959 his portfolio was known as Colonial Secretary. Hence these posters can be dated from 1959 to 1965.
Aren’t the Aussie animals just great!
