of reconciling businesses, doing HR work, doing basically project management. Something like that [the fire] didn’t faze me, but it was like, ‘okay, that’s very interesting’. I needed to get up there to see what it looked like, getting up to the mountain was a priority to see what was needed there. This role wasn’t a six- month role as well, this is a long-term commitment up here.” For three weeks Stuart wasn’t allowed to fully survey the damage, due to the insurance companies wanting a forensic inspector to oversee the carnage. Although the initial fire was only small, its outcome wasn’t. A 10-year-old radio fell into a box of Japanese charcoal which smoked for two hours, producing a black, acrid smoke. It stripped all the paint off the walls, the varnish off the tables and all the stainless-steel equipment was covered in charcoal. Then just before the Wilmot fire brigade arrived another fire started. All of this also unfolded during the peak summer period. “We had smoke damage, a small amount of fire damage, a massive amount of water damage,” Stuart says. “Because we couldn’t do anything we had to open all the windows up to get rid of the smell. Then we had the Cradle Mountain weather coming in for three weeks and causing rusting so anything that wasn’t damaged before, it was completely destroyed in that process.
