About this webpage 

These are stories from locals about the bushfires and the road to recovery.

Just before Christmas, the ABC came to Trarlgon South for two hours of radio. An hour with Radio National, followed by an hour of the legendary Country Hour. Click HERE to have a look at some of the images from the day...

Thanks ABC for not forgetting our district.
