Fire Fight Australia @ ANZ Stadium, Sydney – 16 February 2020

Posted on 17/02/2020 by Lauren Katulka

At least 28 people have died, around 3,000 homes have been lost, around 18 million acres have burned, and countless animals have died or been severely burned. The statistics could make you despair, but that’s not what Aussies are about. We’re the kind of people who see a problem and take matters into our own hands. We band together and do what we can to make things better. That’s why 75,000 Aussies from across the country and I headed to Sydney’s ANZ Stadium yesterday. Oh, and there might have been the added incentive of one of the best concerts the country has ever seen: Fire Fight Australia.

Lauren Katulka cannot remember a time when music was not a part of her life. Raised on an eclectic diet of Van Morrison, The Eagles, Cold Chisel, and Barbra Streisand, she remembers saving all her pocket money for weeks so she could buy cassettes featuring her favourite singers. At the tender age of 11 she saw her first live concert when Jimmy Barnes took his Soul Deep tour to Newcastle’s Civic Theatre. There was no looking back.

Today Lauren is a happily married freelance writer living on the New South Wales Central Coast. When she's not obsessing about the latest band, or some old favourite, she loves to roller-skate, experiment with new recipes, play pub trivia, and watch indie films.
