ABC's Bush Telegraph program talks rebuilding green with Peter Williams, one of the leaders behind the sustainable push at Flowerdale in Victoria; Bob Dixson, Mayor of Greensburg, Kansas, USA; Mara Bun, CEO of Green Cross Australia.

 

It is five months since the Black Saturday bushfires ripped through Victoria with devastating loss of life property.

 

The ins and outs of what went wrong are now being thrashed out at the Royal Commission, but for the men, women and children who survived those fires, there is an equally pressing issue- and that is the desire to rebuild their homes.

 

The small community of Flowerdale is one town that has taken matters into its own hands and has decided to rebuild in a sustainable way, using "build it back green" as its motto.
