SIX months ago a freak super storm cell ripped through Pratten and the surrounding areas leaving a trail of destruction in its path.

But thanks to some very generous donations from the community the residents of Pratten and Bony Mountain are back on their feet - just in time for Christmas.

Organiser of the Pratten and Bony Mountain Disaster Relief Fund, Diane Lawlor, said it was great to see the town up and running once again.

"We just picked up three new water tanks from Total Eden, there has just been so much generosity," she said.

And while it is not quite finished Chris and Melissa Short's home, which was flattened during the storm, is close to completion as well.

Since the storm Ms Lawlor has helped put together six fundraising events including sausage sizzles, markets and even a country music storm benefit.

Attended by more than 200 people the storm benefit country music concert was the biggest fundraising effort.

Months later and Ms Lawlor is still stoked by the $6000 that was raised during the event.

"I am pleased with the final outcome and the community are no longer disillusioned by the environment," Ms Lawlor said.

"We are now more prepared for the future.

"We have also started a know your neighbour campaign and doing some disaster training with guidance from the council."

Ms Lawlor said she could not put into words just how grateful she was for the community's generosity and support.

"We are looking forward to planning some fun events instead of fundraising events for next year," she said.

While the storm was devastating Ms Lawlor said it had managed to bring the community closer.

"Everyone pulled together and helped each other out," she said.
