Episode Details

A Queensland couple and their three-year-old daughter narrowly escaped a catastrophic inland tsunami in Nepal after a glacier collapse unleashed a wall of water taller than buildings, wiping out entire villages—including the mother’s childhood home. With just 15 minutes’ warning, they fled uphill to safety, watching helplessly as debris swept away memories and family. More than a week later, they’re still searching for missing relatives, clinging to hope while grappling with trauma. This was their first trip to Nepal with their daughter—a dream visit to her homeland—to attend family ceremonies, now overshadowed by devastation. Back home in Bundaberg, they run a restaurant and try to stay strong, but the loss is overwhelming. Their story is a chilling reminder: life can vanish in an instant—and nothing should be taken for granted.
