The 2022 River Murray floods in South Australia were caused by record water inflows from the Murray-Darling Basin due to heavy upstream rainfall. The slowly rising floodwaters inundated homes, businesses, and farmland, causing widespread displacement, infrastructure damage, and agricultural losses. The disaster significantly impacted local economies, communities, and the region’s long-term recovery. In this special limited series of Kintsugi Heroes, John Milham sits down with members of the Riverlands community and gives them space to share their experiences of their personal adversity and community resilience. It’s only through connection and empathy that there can be a path to recovery. These stories of trauma can be confronting. If you find they have a triggering effect, please reach out to someone who can help keep you safe. Now listen in as John takes you to the Riverland Recovery Stories with Kintsugi Heroes.
