My quilt block is a representation of the aboriginal canoe tree that stood in the Yarra for all those years since the aboriginals inhabited the area.

Unfortunately it fell into the water and has been hauled out but we have been unable to get the council to stand it up on the bank and so preserve it a bit longer. Lying on the ground with the rain pouring into it, it will surely rot away.
