About this listen

 When the Black Summer fires tore through Cobargo in 2019, the small New South Wales town was left in ruins. Homes, businesses, and entire livelihoods were lost overnight. As the flames closed in, residents faced the impossible choice — stay and defend, or flee into the smoke. Roads were cut off, communication collapsed, and desperate evacuations played out in chaos. This episode tells the story of those who escaped through walls of fire, those who stayed behind, and the community that refused to disappear. It’s a story of resilience, heartbreak, and the haunting silence that followed the blaze.
