Story booth shares tales from Black Tuesday

On February 7, 1967 Margaret Keogh was working as a school teacher near Hobart when a raging bushfire front threatened her students, home and family. 

More than fifty years after the event Ms Keogh has shared her story on camera, as part of the 1967 Bushfires Story Booth currently touring Tasmania. 

The booth, supported by funding from the Tasmanian Fire Service, has filmed the accounts of more than 100 people since December last year.
