Several recovery events, including one at Bawley Point, were held this year.
Captain of the Bawley Point Rural Fire Service brigade Charlie Magnusson was happy the community made the most of their recent bushfire recovery afternoon.
People at the Bawley Point event got advice and information on recovery assistance available to them following the Currowan fire by way of charitable services, mental health and wellbeing services, support for businesses, clean-up services, financial assistance, grants and rebates, insurance and legal support, fire danger period preparation and even replacing lost IDs.
Captain Charlie said they were also able to give people information on how to prepare for this year's bushfire season.
'It was good for the community to get out and come together," Captain Charlie said.
