The fires that tore through the South Coast of New South Wales in 2019/2020 hit towns on the coast and in the bush.
Within the community, homes were lost, some experienced events that left them traumatised and all inhabited a devastated landscape.
Animal habitats were also affected, and when both logging companies and urban developers began to encroach on the habitat of the critically endangered Swift Parrot, locals from the South Coast began to stand up and take action to save the home that this small bird needs in order to survive.
