It was not only. Their fence on. Track to implement its all age cattle sheds half. A stray liest summer bush fires burnt through millions of hectors destroying Homes Properties and lives. Months on some survivors are still without Running Water or a warm place to sleep. Existing literally existing and its just as ridiculous i dont know how. Im here we do it honestly. Does it surprise you that all these months on papers by sickening still not being met ill have to yes yes its very very surprising and dismay. As a new fire season approaches one or one east follows a community trying to rebuild. In the aftermath of one of australias worst disasters. Early this morning we have a delivery of 271000 later water tanks which are going to be distributed throughout the shire. People have been coming in all day picking them up on their trials and yet spain was pretty busy today. For months hundreds of people in and around go have been leaving without access to one of lifes most basic necessities moore says. The store nation of 207. 00 tanks is a huge relief. Chris walters who runs the local Relief Center has the hard task of working out who needs one of these tanks the most people are using bottled water or theyre bringing in 20 later containers of water to refill up here at the showground and thats all the work of course because the whole Water Infrastructure has been burnt so they have no water. This tank will mean everything to kathy healy and rightful hassen whove been living in a caravan with nor Running Water since losing their house in the fire on new years eve. Tomorrow in this. Light the stress is off to set a little bit more we can have a share we can wash up. We dont have to stress its one thing. Basing it out i have huge big releases. When i came in during the last 5 months existing literally existing because day to day is just so hard if you get up in the morning as for the great like its cold. You go to get water you go to feed the animals. And its just its ridiculous i dont know how. And here we do it honestly. I dont even know what the quality. Of this. Captain right chill is still in need of simple things like blankets and warm clothes the Relief Center has become a lifeline we. Think they will make me. The most is a good one. Danielle murphy runs the center alongside Chris Walters theyve both volunteers coming out of it. We provide a bit of a Gathering Place for people who come in looking for assistance and for material help but also it helps with a Mental Health i think the people can still feel part of the Community Even though particularly coronavirus times theyre feeling very isolated. Like. Danielle is a punk rocker who made the change from you know city sydney to kabongo 16 years ago shes now a key part of the bushfire relief if it. Then you know who the generators would be coming there for Small Businesses to get permits for everybody this is going on thats not really saying that its a project you need to get chris about half just wake up my computer and put it straight only then we hire a different path i think were going to split the projects otherwise we both go mad. And yell and i had never met before the 1st week of january we live in the same town but with quite different ages we have different interests and so forth and it just grew it just grew out of necessity ad of just sort of we were the last men standing when the other volunteers all had to go off to their other lives after the 1st influx of people and volunteers when the bushfires 1st happened. We like to head to one brain. Its a lovely little tag team weve got going. And so you know we call between ourselves you know chrissy is the Efficiency Department you know she will be you know as im a little bit more chaotic i think together we combine to you know ive become this really successful working tain. And i want to be 11011. Yet. 3 to be rewarded one of the army were here yeah. For sure yeah yeah without sounding soppy about it we want to help people we do want to help people but we with really feel its important that we study the distance to help people because weve developed relationships with people and they can come in and they know that theyre talking to a friendly face and someone that ive probably same before and so were here for all hope. We are trying to live to go and see them find. Ive taken out some piece of clients to stand up and say and come back. The next place. I like to stand. Back. And be a great deal to help you. Know your. Time cant you dont you know because. You know. Youre starting to bloom but i dont know when im going to get. Something. I bought it at the same song back i bet its a good time yeah thats what we mean. Stefan tell matzke is a homeopath they moved from germany to a stray bullet he uses. The mud brick home he built by hand was destroyed in a fire is. The boer war was he like donetsk or syria. Or the allied bombings of germany the pictures i know. This privately. And said of course. Hes been given to wear that caravans in a shipping container to see him through the winter like many in the area he was uninsured hes been given 50000. 00 from the red cross to bray build an 8 1000. 00 from the State Government to replace his appliances have you found it hard to ask for help yeah i never though that the one thing. I was always reluctant to do this and now ive become a hunter gatherer i grab everything i mean done here and cross they help. Your whatever literally i ask for something that was hard but not terribly hard you know. I could combine it with a certain. For uninsured people its you know overwhelming and when theyre being given these grants and you know theyre trying to hang on to every last cent you know they try not to spend because they know that that is the one and only opportunity that they have to rebuild it and a lot of those times they will never ever get back to a level that it was and. Yes my heart goes out to them. Fire roared through bargo only using. 2 days later Prime Minister Scott Morrison came to see the devastation. On the net out of the ride home for the yankees becomes a Family Business they dont want the bengals gallery to be able to call some of those guys a house a house size were talking about well youre going. To. Get a small book in this region that i think you. Do on. The form a mail local dairy farm a tiny island showed the payam around the Relief Center where bush 5 victims had set up camp. Where i was by the where the promise was coming and daria i thought well you know this could be good for us because we needed help we needed help from whoever we could get help from we were we were we were smashed. The visit turned into one of the most politically charged moments of the summer was originally was because i was not. Going to build up to this day and downtown was out sam doesnt have a lot of money but we have pots of gold mr Prime Minister. I was exhausted i hadnt slept i fought fires i still had asked me my hair bits of melted plastic and i was just this in eyes sense of outrage that the little paper a very much overlooked in in any disaster its. Gails i was enraged. Its really really hard to tell really wants but for now you need it right you really know how to get any rights anybody was really it was a white house yeah thank you ira i dont think it was hard for it was just a god thats how. I think. It was unfortunate something i. Regret having been part of but and you know im sure what he did what he did you think youre doing the right thing by your community there are some people who at 1st were angry at my outburst now see how hard i work and realize that it was never. You know was never my intention to stage a personal price protest or get on television or anything like that it was. Just a frustration. For peoples needs not been met only some 2. Months on from the Prime Ministers visit the devastation still stretches for hundreds of kilometers around. While 1000000000 have been pledged for bushfire recovery a common feeling here is that the response from Big Charities government and politicians hasnt been good enough. You know its me also the politicians of different by ive put it all stripes and saying the same here its saying that theyre midges theyre here and the saying it just havent responded because its time that it was such a the scale of this is huge and the response to that has got to be huge as well not just i think it has been. Dave allen runs the only pub in town. But i think it was his dad tony allen who showed the pay him around the Relief Center 1st and were going to let you. Dive site of the hotel from the fire as it tore through the shops nearby hes still traumatized. The 1st few weeks to get out of sleep. You stop crying. You know over time you start crying. But that you know you gradually work your way through that and then get it getting back to work was important for me and getting something to do and not focusing on what happened and focusing on what we can do to you know way forward and get the price going into that help but the people who didnt have a job to go to all but lost the high and just lost a sense of being satisfied baker i guess was really really tough. He talks to bush 5 victims every day and hes shocked at the conditions some a still living in. It still looked like he was coming he getting meals she was sleeping in a car she had a caravan but she couldnt sleep in a caravan because she had a back complied so she had to sleep in it you know people still you have to get sort of 2 degrees or so to go to the toilet from in these all caravans and i just dont understand with all the money that was done i did through various charities or the government assistance that is people still living rough and theres going to be more people just. Theyre actually give up because i just dont i dont have any hope and this could go on for years i think because the disaster was so huge that the government bodies and i didnt see as who would have stepped up and have tried to step up have just not been equipped that were never equipped to deal with such an enormous disaster but i also think that grants and that sort of thing the applications it just almost impossible for people who are suffering severe trauma to feel. Its none of those forms a simple and theres a lot of its just too hard ill give up i just cant do these theres a lot of that happening or has happened. On jade colbys mean one della north of the cleanup is finally getting started. State and federal governments are paying contract is to clear peoples plucks. To go on doing so goods like you know weve talked on the phone yet this is the facts.

In this shire alone there are more than 2000 burnt buildings to remove including an enormous 32000 tons of material contaminated with the space to this were saying about 4 way. Given this has is 1st is probably that the latter end of that rather than being able to solve yet i reckon it. Jade is also helping at his parents place on the next ridge over his family has been farming in the area for 4 generations. This is mom and dads here this is where we were brought up im going to build this themselves with a builder does the 3 of them. Are things i want to in about. 3 or 4 someone that.

The cattle werent insured the fences were insured one house was in insured and 3 of the 4 sheds were insured so. We copped it but.

You know all 4 people who died from the fires around kabongo. Over the past months people here have been quietly rebuilding their lives family focused on the future. How long do you think its going to take for you to get back on a fait. Accompli probably should have everything back to. Somewhere near how you feeling about that when you think about what you got ahead of a. Lot of the read too much of this sort of escape are going to go on. A lot of people have at the beginning not been forthcoming with asking for help but we find now that theyre actually coming true in sign actually im not i can i and i i do need a bit of help. And we try to do that in a way that you know. Preserves a persons dignity because thats a persons pride in their dignity should be something they should always be able to retire dont forget about us were still struggling its going to take a very very very long time for the bushfire affected people and countryside and villages and corner me to recover if in fact some of them have a job.
