Raining Embers

0/5 ( ratings)

"On 7 February 2009, Greater Bendigo experienced its worst natural disaster when the Black Saturday bushfires tore a path of destruction through the municipality.

As news broke of the fires erupting across Victoria, few Bendigo residents could have imagined their own homes and lives would be at risk. The Bracewell Street fire, which started on the forested north-west edge of the city, swept quickly and with little warning into urban areas, taking one life, destroying 58 homes, countless sheds, outbuildings, cars, boats and caravans, and burning through 354 hectares.

Miners' cottages, dream homes, new and historic homes, and humble family abodes all burned as residents watched in disbelief, ran for their lives, or stayed and fought the flames as best they could under impossible circumstances.

This book tells just some of the stories of that fateful day - the days, weeks and months that followed - and the long road to recovery for a proud yet devastated community. These are the voices of the people who experienced Black Ssaturday in Bendigo."
