A devastating bushfire ripped through a rural Darwin property, obliterating the home of retirees Graham and Margaret Doyle—where they’d lived for 30 years—in just minutes. With no time to save cherished items like wedding rings or documents, they escaped with their dogs after battling flames with a hose and buckets before being forced out by a fireball. The blaze, fueled by dangerous gamba grass, spread rapidly despite emergency crews rushing in. Compounding their tragedy, the couple couldn’t insure their home due to past drainage problems. Now, they’re facing homelessness and rebuilding from scratch, while their granddaughter’s crowdfunding campaign has raised over $8,000—with plans to buy a caravan as a temporary fix.
