Join the National Library for a special event that will explore some of the ways in which southern NSW community members have told and preserved their bushfire stories.

The Badja Forest Road Bushfire, part of the devastating 2019-2020 Black Summer fire season, struck Yuin Country in southern NSW in January 2020. Through the creation of a documentary by a local filmmaker and through an oral history collaboration with the National Library of Australia , survivors have recorded their memories of an unforgettable disaster, and how they have rebuilt their lives, homes and community.
