A "horrific" car crash that claimed the lives of five teenagers in Buxton has rocked a tight-knit community that only recently faced fires and floods.
Just a few hundred metres from the scene of Tuesday's crash is the spot where two Rural Fire Service (RFS) members died when a tree fell on their vehicle during the Black Summer bushfires.
And in nearby Picton, where the teenagers went to school, streets were inundated by floodwaters this year.
