Currowan A story of a fire and a community during Australia's worst summer

Due to be published September 2021.

An insider's account of surviving one of Australia's worst bushfires, and how we live with fire in a climate-changed world Currowan is the gripping account of the massive fire that engulfed the south coast of New South Wales in 2019-20. Ignited by a lightning strike near the Currowan state forest and burning for seventy-four days across nearly 500,000 hectares, it was among the largest and most ferocious infernos of Australia's Black Summer. Journalist Bronwyn Adcock fled the fire with her children. Her husband, fighting at the front, rang with a plea for help before his phone went dead, leaving her to fear- will he make it out alive? In Currowan, Bronwyn tells her story, and those of many others- what they experienced, saw, thought and felt.
