- Summary:
-
"Kelvin and Kerry Pope drink tea near their caravan that has been covered in black plastic to protect them from asbestos dust. This week has seen very cold conditions as winter approaches. Kelvin and Kerry Pope live 5km form Cobargo and lost their property during the New Years Eve bushfire. They are currently living in a caravan wrapped in plastic to stop the risk of asbestos blowing in from their destroyed home that lies in rubble only meters away. Workers have commenced the clearing of their property over the last week and they were told that they must leave the site during working hours for their own safety. This has made it very difficult for them to stay at home and self isolate during COVID-19. Cobargo, NSW, Sunday the 3rd May, 2020."--Information supplied by photographer.
