The collection comprises photographs by Rachel Mounsey of the devastating bushfires that swept through the Victorian township of Mallacoota and surrounds on New Year's Eve, 2019. The photographs document events during the bushfires and the aftermath, including: residents sheltering at emergency evacuation centres; passengers departing from the Bastion Point boat ramp on HMAS Choules; and residents returning to their burnt-out properties and assessing the damage.
