About this listen
In September 2019, as flames swept across Queensland’s hinterland, the historic Binna Burra Lodge was reduced to ash. Perched in the Lamington National Park for more than 80 years, the timber lodge wasn’t just a getaway—it was a cultural landmark, a gathering point for generations of hikers, families, and conservationists. Its destruction became one of the most symbolic losses of the Black Summer bushfires, a searing reminder that even heritage and history aren’t safe in the era of extreme fire.
Binna Burra signaled a turning point in Australia’s fire story. Beyond the heartbreak of a lodge lost, it raised urgent questions: what happens when climate change collides with treasured places, and how do we mourn cultural icons consumed by fire?
