The House on the Hill

Residents in Lobethal fled their properties for safety in December 2019, not knowing if they’d return and find their houses still standing. Adelaide’s Cudlee Creek fire filled the air with black smoke and destroyed 85 homes over 10 days. As the recovery rolled-out, the pandemic crept in - isolating people and leaving those who’d lost their homes feeling isolated and forgotten. Content warning this feature contains stories from the 2019/2020 Fires.
