How can a sculptural forest trail in Western Australia reunite a community after bushfire? How does a tight-knit community in rural Victoria approach recovery when its youngest residents have lost their sense of safety? How is storytelling creating opportunities for connection among farmers in drought-stricken communities in South Australia? And how did an Indigenous-led ranger network and arts centre galvanise a North Queensland community following a powerful tropical cyclone?

In this new series from the Creative Recovery Network, Scotia Monkivitch visits communities around Australia that have experienced natural disaster, and explores the role of art and creativity to repair, rebuild and reunite.
