Life After Bushfires

Bushfire Community Ambassador

First post, bushfire recovery

Hi Everyone! 

I've been a Peer Ambassador for several years now. I've lived through several major fires and their aftermaths. 

Random facts you ask...?

1. My pets names are Dogmatic, Doggedness and Caterpillar!  (Staghound, Wolfhound and Fluffy cat!)

2. I speak with police recruits (have done for close to a decade) about my life and dealing with people in mental health crisis 

3. I'm an artist, but I've been asked to write a book about my life so often that I'm finally doing it...

(I'd rather write that novel I've always dreamed I would write, but I'll get this done first!)

 

I'm going to endeavour to be available as much as possible here... probably at odd times through the day and night!

Re: First post, bushfire recovery

Woah @Shaz51. I can't imagine how scary they are!!!! I mean, I guess I can, because I assume the fear and such is pretty similar to a bushfire . . .

Re: First post, bushfire recovery

Yes @YouAreNotAlone@Shazi55 pretty similar to a bushfire

so sharing my experience in regard to both climate disasters like @nashy has said
