It's one year after the worst bush fires in Australia's history.
Steve Evans talks to businessman Rod Liesfield who lost his wife and children and also to the couple, Pearl and Frank Timms, who saved each other. As he travels around the region Steve hears tales of tragedy but also of hope.
Plus we hear from Noel Pietersen, the Chief Executive of the Insurance Brokers Association of Australia, who has been lobbying for a change in law to stop the extra tax levy to insure against fire.
Dr Kevin Tolhurst who's a senior lecturer in fire ecology at the University in Melbourne explains that he thinks the reason people were underinsured was because there was an expectation that the state would provide.
