The Chatsbury/Bungonia bushfires of 1965 was a series of bushfires that burned from 5 to 14 March 1965 in the Southern Highlands region of New South Wales, Australia. The fires destroyed the villages of Tallong, Wingello, and most of the surrounding orchards.[1]

The fire is thought to be ignited by a spark from a Chatsbury Station angle grinder. It quickly spread and covered Шаблон:Convert and destroyed the areas' livestock. It is thought to be the greatest disaster in the area.[2]

Three people were killed. 28 homes were destroyed in Tallong, 31 in Wingello. The fire was eventually stopped (or burnt out) near Nowra on the NSW South Coast.[3]
