Harcourt Bushfire Relief Appeal
On 9 January 2026, a catastrophic bushfire devastated Harcourt and surrounding areas in central Victoria. Homes, farms, and cherished community spaces were lost. For days, fires continued to burn, preventing families from returning home while emergency crews and volunteers worked around the clock.
The scale of loss is heartbreaking — lives disrupted, homes destroyed, and communities forever changed. Recovery will take time, strength, and support from all of us.
