    Abstract

    Background and aim
    Natural disasters such as bushfires occur frequently in Australia and will continue to be a significant feature in the future. These events have long-lasting personal, social, environmental and economic impacts; and it can take communities ten years or longer to recover. Despite current research and numerous inquiries, recovery appears to be the least understood phase of the disaster cycle. This study explores the recovery process by examining the experiences and lessons learned by communities affected by the 2015 Sampson Flat bushfires in South Australia.
