Fiona Lee sits outside NSW Parliament with a pile of ashes from her family’s burnt out home after fire tore through the tiny rural community of Warrawillah on the state’s mid-north coast on Friday.

Fiona and her family drove to Sydney to participate in today’s protest rally to demand action on climate change.
More pics to come.
