Black Saturday


Black Saturday

Mr EDBROOKE: Yesterday, as many people know, marked the 13th anniversary of the Black Saturday bushfires in 2009. We remember the 173 people lost, the hundreds of people injured and those left to rebuild. We acknowledge the contribution of every person who responded that day to overwhelming adversity and faced over 400 fires, 3500 buildings destroyed and 1.1 million acres burned.
