We acknowledge the funding received by Melton City Council to develop these curriculum materials.  The curriculum materials have been designed using the Volcano Dreaming panels.  Volcano Dreaming was originally designed, photographed, researched and digitally constructed by Peter Haffenden and Kerrie Poliness from Inherit Earth.  Funding for this project was made possible by EPA Victoria’s – Inspiring Environmental Solutions program and Victoria University.
