Description |
Overnight on 7 and 8 January 2003, a dry storm ignited over 80 fires in Victoria's north-east and Gippsland. From exhaustive interviews with residents in the region, Campion Decent has fashioned an extraordinary account of the fires, the heart-stopping tales of survival, the awe-inspiring toughness, the communites that, when put to the test of fire, proved to be stronger than even old-timers believed. |
