What Will It Take To Recover From The Australian Bushfires?

With thousands homeless, businesses crippled and injured animals left with no home to return to... Australia is now trying to comprehend what it will be like to clean up after these devastating bushfires. We speak to survivors of the 2003 Canberra fires to find out how they have fared since flames tore their lives apart 17 years ago and what it will take to get Australia back on its feet.
