Coorabell, NSW
During the February 2022 floods my car was being serviced at a service station that was inundated. The car was a write off. So even though our home was not flooded I suffered a loss – financial and mental health-wise. It was traumatic being without a car. I live in an isolated area and need a car – the nearest village shop is 10 km away. I am 67. Second hand car prices were at a premium after the flood – and difficult to find in my price range. I ended up being ripped off – I was sold a car (by a “reputable” dealer) that had mechanical issues and had to sell it at great loss.

It was heart breaking to see how the climate change had a massive impact on our Island home. It was terrible to see how the water floats the streets, and even worse when it rains because how the river bark overflows and water rush through to the village.
