I recently took part in the Australian National Health and Wellbeing Bushfire Survey, conducted by the Australian National University. The study waw looking into the long-term psycological effects of bushfire on communities and individuals. A great animation has been created to summarise the results, which you can view here: youtu.be/CT-Nlp_RWzc

This morning I came across a nice little story from Gardening Australia about landscape gardening in an extreme bushfire area, one of my favourite subjects. There is so much our gardens can offer for bushfire resilience and protection. Watch the story here: youtu.be/0g__iieMiUI
Some people ask me what the significance or relevance of permaculture to bushfire resilience, I am planning an essay (or maybe a book!) on this subject, but in the meantime I recommend watching this great youtube: https://youtu.be/y_HEHlE-_dE or read 'The Flywire House' by David Holmgren: https://store.holmgren.com.au/product/the-flywire-house-ebook/
