Episode 87 NSW Floods - The Mop Up


Listen Later

NSW was ravaged by the worst floods in 50 years in March 2021. Today the floods are almost forgotten, unless of course you live in the areas where the floods occurred. If you visit the Camden Haven Area, it looks as pretty as a picture, the river is majestic as it flows from the source near Comboyne to the sea. However, take a closer look and you will find many of the residents have been unable to return to their homes. The struggle to rebuild is a nightmare.  The mop up is ongoing. For many they have lost all.

Cheryl Hinton, a local from North Haven shares her story. I take my hat off to Cheryl, her positive “get on with it” attitude shows strength of character and resilience needed to start again, to pull down their family home and rebuild from the ground up. Thank you, Cheryl, for allowing me to share your story and the story of so many others who are now struggling in silence
