“Tempered by Fire” is a popular book edited by Bushfire Front chair, Roger Underwood.
Capital Community Radio has produced a three-part radio play commemorating the bravery and stoicism of all those involved in the fires at Dwellingup in 1961. These podcasts were created from the actual experiences and memories of survivors. Each part runs for about 15 to 20 minutes.
It’s well worth a listen.
