Living Memory Finalist
The property is almost unrecognisable: sheets of corrugated iron twisted and warped, grass burnt to bare dirt, vehicles flung across the landscape, and the charred remains of livestock. The Badga Forest Road fire manifested as a firestorm, consuming the tiny hamlet of Wandella on New Year's Eve 2019. This is what fourth-generation farmer Jade Corby came back to after returning to his parents' Wandella property a week later. Although most of his family and his wife's family had lost their homes, he still maintains his resilience and yearns to rebuild what is lost.
