Episode Five | Firestorm

When the inferno tore through Cobargo in December 2019, it wasn’t just homes that burned — it was history, livelihoods, and the heart of a tight-knit rural town. In this episode, survivors recount the chaos of that morning: walls of flame devouring the main street, skies turning black at dawn, and the desperate fight to save what couldn’t be saved. From the volunteer firefighters who refused to leave to families who returned to nothing but ash, this is the story of a community brought to its knees — and the long road back. “Cobargo” is a raw, first-hand account of loss, resilience, and the human cost of Australia’s Black Summer.
