WHAT IS YOUR TRUTH?
Overwhelmed but Strong. Betty May Stark evacuated from her home in Elands near Bobin, NSW during the November bush fires in Australia. She went to town and within 40 minutes all roads were closed, she couldn't get home and spent 12 days in an evacuation centre. The village of Bobin was almost completely destroyed. Now, standing in the burnt out forest she sees regrowth and a community healing.
