‘It makes you realise you can survive more than you think you can.’

When retirees Linda and Steve Cavanagh moved from Beenleigh in Queensland to their hundred-acre bush block near Rappville they found neighbours that they could rely on to help them out in times of need. They talk about how this community spirit shone during the Rappville fires and their own perspective on life that helped get them through the tough personal times that followed.
