## Resource

The Victorian forestry transition program is ending, leaving towns like Swifts Creek and Orbost reeling as the timber industry vanished—jobs that sustained families for generations are gone, and promised government support hasn’t delivered the economic lifeline needed. With $1.5 billion pledged, the plan failed to spark a viable replacement economy, forcing workers like Mick Harrington to reinvent themselves. While some businesses adapt—like a mill now processing plantation timber—others struggle. Yet hope flickers: towns like Noojee are turning to tourism and food, even hosting truffle festivals funded by transition dollars, proving resilience can rebuild community identity—even if the road is steep.
