The Quicky

We’re currently in the midst of what’s being called the most dangerous bushfire week in Australian history.  Fires are burning right up the Eastern seaboard...but firefighters are particularly concerned for the Greater Sydney, Greater Hunter and Illawarra Shoalhaven areas, where a catastrophic fire danger rating is in place. In today's episode of The Quicky, we'll take at look at how fire affected communities rebuild after events like these by speaking with two incredible women that lost their homes in the 2009 Black Saturday Fires.  CREDITS  Host/Producer: Gemma Bath  Executive Producer: Elle Beattie  Audio Producer: Ian Camilleri  A very big thanks to our two guests who kindly shared their personal stories with us.
