Blue Mountains Bushfire Cleanup – Wollemi Wilderness Love Cabins
PLEASE SUBSCRIBE and support my channel!
The largest ever recorded bushfire in Australia’s history, was the Gospers Mountain Fire, over the Summer of 2019-2020. On December 14, 2019, a backburning operation was put in place near the village of Mount Wilson. Sadly, the fire got away and raced towards the townships of Bilpin and others along the Bells Line of Road. 20 homes were lost and the lives and businesses of the community will be forever affected.
In January 2020, a collection of bushwalkers, from various clubs across Sydney and the Blue Mountains, spent their weekends on chainsaws, rakes and using their hands, to help local businesses and residents clean up their properties, to make them safe for re-opening.
Little did we all know, that the bushfires were just one tragedy to strike a community, like this, that relies on tourism for it’s existence. 6 weeks later, the world was shaken with the emergence of the covid-19 pandemic. The global market that fed so many of Australia’s small tourism operators (like Lionel’s), disappeared overnight.

About Caro::—-
I grew up in Sydney, Australia in a family that never went camping or on outdoors adventures.
Therefore, it came as somewhat of a surprise to discover hiking and camping in my mid 20’s and it fast became somewhat of an obsession.
Since then, I’ve become a leader with the Sydney Bush Walkers Club and Search Manager with NSW SES Bush Search and Rescue.
The outdoors totally changed my life and I’m keen to share my knowledge and stories with others – hoping that they’ll catch the bug too! Apart from sharing tips here and on the YouTube channel, I am also a casual guide for the Duke of Edinburgh Award Scheme, encouraging young people aged 14-17 years old to fall in love with wild places.
You can also find me as a regular contributor for Great Walks and Travel Play Live Magazines, live on radio ABC702 Weekends with Simon Marnie and appearing as a speaker and workshop host at events such as Bushwalking Australia Conferences, ProBlogger, ORIC (Outdoor Recreation Industry) Conference, SheWentWild and Women’s Adventure Summit.
