This shot of drift wood by Stuart Crosset is one of 67 images donated by photographers to raise money for victims of Australia's bushfires

The Melbourne Advertising & Design Club has enlisted the help of photographers around the world to raise funds to help children left orphaned by the recent bushfires in Australia

Along with the help of photographer Simon Harsent, the MADC engaged over 50 internationally renowned photographic artists to donate works to the MADC charity auction at McCulloch Gallery, Melbourne, which takes place on June 26.

Prints donated for sale include

Bonneville by Michael Corridore

Girl On Fence by Ian Butterworth

And Melt by Simon Harsent

All auction-proceeds raised from the sale of the works will be donated directly to the trusts of two orphaned Victorian families, the Nilsson children (Hannah, 14, Lukas, 12 and Amber, 10) and 12 year old Maddison Bartlet.

For more information on the auction, or to make a bid, please go here

Thanks alot people!

As a local Australian Designer who came close to loosing my sister and her family in the fires, I deeply appreciate the gesture of someone within the design community giving thought to the plight of a bunch of heavily singed 'okas' so far from good 'ol Lundin Town! Well done to all who have a care for the recipients of this most arresting event! Our whole state has slowly been crawling out of a collective sense of Post Traumatic Stress disorder. Coupled with global downturns its been a tricky time. every bit helps though. Ta.
