Aged pensioner lost his home and all belongings in Jan 2026 Vic Bushfire
2026 Victoria Bushfires
This gentleman is an aged pensioner who lost his home and all belongings in the Jan 2026 Victoria Bushfires. He could not afford the increasing insurance premiums on his home and therefore was uninsured.
He loves living on his land on small acreage with his pet dogs and wouldn't ever dream of living anywhere else, so he will do what it takes to stay put. He has been given a second hand caravan but it is in disrepair and needs a bit of maintenance. He is using an outdoor camp shower and toilet setup, with a little barbecue for his cooking.
He is trying to put money aside each fortnight to make small improvements to his living conditions, but struggling with cost of living and replacing needed household items.
This man is made of tough stuff and is very determined.
