Bushfire Press is an Australian publishing house servicing Performing Arts Education in primary and post primary schools and non-professional and youth theatre

Why do we call ourselves Bushfire Press? Bushfire Press was born in the late Eighties in the little village of Warrandyte, in Victoria's southeast - an area that has had its share of bushfires. Our logo is a red and a green leaf, shaped like musical notes. The red and green symbolised the green growth from the ashes of the red fire. Regrowth, regeneration, the overcoming of disasters and the strength of moving forward. Initially, we were thinking about the struggles of small, independent businesses who battle sometimes seemingly insurmountable odds ... But I guess the logo really stands for the indomitable spirit of people. It is a spirit we cherish in this country - as shown by the generous support of Australians everywhere in this time of crisis.
