the project
The 'Local Flora' mosaic pavers were created by visitors to the Expo of the 2018 Festival of Glass (Drysdale, VIC, Australia) with the support of staff from Bunnings (Leopold), which also donated the materials for the project.
Bunnings staff designed the pavers, inspired by flora indigenous to the coastal reserves of Clifton Springs and Curlewis. The flora are featured in Clifton Springs & Curlewis Coastal Reserves, a booklet available from the Bellarine Catchment Network: matt.bcn@environmentbellarine.org.au
