133: Dairy farmer & grandma June Tarlinton survived the Black Summer fires

June Tarlinton was born to droving parents and spent her childhood in the bush, living in tents. She's now a mum of three and grandma who's had quite the adventure. She's a dairy farmer on the the far south coast of NSW and has been married for 40 years. She's weathered plenty of highs and lows, but the hardest came just three years ago during the Black Summer fires where she found herself in the fight of her life. Tragically, June lost her father during the disaster, and since then, has been focusing on her family and rebuilding their life on the land. This is her story.
