00:00 You know what, this is the thing that amazes me.

00:05 The actual shithouse has exploded.

00:07 Pretty much the worst day of your life really, looking at a tsunami of fire coming straight

00:34 at you.

00:35 Just horrendous conditions.

00:37 And there was no one saving the livestock.

00:40 You couldn't see, it was just as dark as the inside of a dog.

00:44 Like the bottom of flames and it's just burning across the trees and you cannot breathe.

00:49 CFS have got rules and regulations and they don't really apply because you're not going

00:53 to go to sleep when your mates house is under fire.

00:59 Yeah of course I can remember what it looked like.

01:07 I lost, me shed, probably one and a half million dollars worth of machines, my house.

01:16 This is a Makita drill.

01:22 It's hard, there was nearly a dream here.

01:28 It's mostly been wiped out now.

01:32 Nothing left mate.

01:34 Not a cracker.

01:39 Do you start up again or not?

01:42 Yeah, there's definitely people you worry about.

01:46 Those people are hurting.

01:47 They're really hurting.

01:49 To see people come in so torn and so proud is really quite heart wrenching.

01:55 It's been the hardest thing to see.

02:00 The marks on the road where two people died.

02:03 Hey look mate, I am fucked.

02:17 Once a park catches fire it's very hard to stop.

02:20 Look we did the best we could on the day.

02:22 Both of them had the opportunity out of days when the grain were there to put it out.

02:26 We need to get to the truth of what really happened.

02:29 I hope lessons are learned out of this.

02:32 It's only 13 years ago that all the national parks burned and here we are again.

02:36 You go along and make too many mistakes forward all the way, there's not going to be anything

02:40 to pick up later on.

02:42 You cannot stop fires with the climate that we have.

02:48 That would be the scariest thing looking forward.

02:50 It would be its ability to create divides within the community and affect friendships.

02:55 It is so wrong.

02:58 I just don't understand.

03:01 The whole community of Kangaroo Island has been shaken to the core from this and the

03:07 ripple effect from this will go for years.

03:13 What do I do now?
