Supporting a small township affected by bushfires
Cobargo is a small township located between the mountains and the sea on the far south coast of NSW. The town was affected by the late 2019 early 2020 bushfires. It was a traumatic and challenging time for the community, with families displaced and the local public spaces and surrounding vegetation devastated by the disaster.
Community members like Tania, Jess and the local publican Bron – all channelled their energy into helping and working on supporting the town not only as they were going through the disaster. With Jess making a refuge at the local showgrounds, and Bron supporting The Cobargo Green Recovery Group consists of dedicated group of local community members who have a vision to rebuild not only communal town spaces, but also lift the spirits for the town so they have some optimism and hope in the future.
