Matt works in media projects in many places, mostly South East Asia, and lives in Central Victoria, which is also in a bushfire zone.
Matt explains:
"The Black Summer fires hit home hard, and this is one way I can contribute. COVID disruptions meant it changed along the way, and became much more involved than I ever imagined - I simply hope it's of value to all those who went through Black Summer.
"I'm thankful to all the many people who shared their experiences, grateful to everyone who helped us out, and appreciate all the hospitality and friendship we found along the way.
"East Gippsland really is special. More on all of that, soon!"
