BRAVE is about sharing the inspiring stories of ordinary people in our communities. The series is localised to North Queensland, Australia, encompassing the areas surrounding Townsville, Charters Towers, and Winton. In 2019, the region was devastated by an unprecedented monsoon event, with the Covid pandemic affecting it a year later. These stories will share struggles through both of those events, as well as other personal hardships that locals have fought through. We hope this series inspires you. BRAVE is an initiative of the Townsville Community Information Centre and jointly funded by the Australian and Queensland Governments under the Disaster Recovery Funding Arrangements (DRFA).
