Mr Stalbow revealed the emotional toll of losing not only his “amazing home” but also treasured belongings, including pictures of his late grandfather.

“I don’t recognize anything,” he told Sky News.

“It hasn’t just hit one house, it’s hit everybody. The whole village, schools, restaurants, everything we’ve got is turned to dust, and it looks like an atomic bomb’s hit it.”

The wildfire, the largest and most destructive in the region, forced a frantic evacuation.

Mr Stalbow’s wife, a nursery teacher, was at work when the order was issued and had to act quickly to gather their children while others fled the area.

“She did a brilliant job,” he said.
