BUCHAN, Australia (Reuters) - It was an inevitability, thought Australian cattle farmer Donald Graham and his wife Bronwyn, that bushfires would one day tear through the bushland that surrounded their home, a remote property overlooking the Snowy River National Park.

It's the reason they installed two concrete bunkers on their property in December 2018, a year before devastating fires would roar up the nearby gullies.
