Burnt Christmas Tree - Wynyard Park
Holiday decorations are currently lighting up the streets of Sydney from Bondi to The Rocks and Martin Place as we near December 25th, but the latest Christmas Tree to arrive in Wynyard is one you cannot miss. The Red Cross has this week erected a massive Burnt Christmas Tree, designed by artist James Dive, the same man behind the festive Martin Place Christmas Tree. James crafted the structure from fire-ravaged tree limbs and burnt objects gathered from the bushfires tearing through New South Wales these past few months. The tree symbolises both the shadow that bushfires have cast over the holiday season, and the reminder that our communities will rise, rebuild, and recover. Its worth visiting and reflecting on the loss of possessions by these communities.
As we move to the end of a tough 2019 for many, its perhaps helpful to reflect on and give to those doing it tougher either through drought of bush fires. A donation link is below.
