[hometext] => Based on the Australian bush-fires of 1983
[bodytext] => Morning victoria radio forcast for today The barometer predicts a scorcher for today So all prepare the bush to be on fire Tensions rise, as the barometer gets higher and higher Today is a day of total fire ban Stand-by to pump water from the dam Kids get an early knock-off from school Around to a mates house for a swim in the pool Sunscreen plus over 40 degrees Beer on ice and smoke through the trees Fire engines race to block off roads Evacuating fauna, Kangaroo`s, Cockatoo`s and Toads Stockman despirate to control their cattle They gallop their horses without a saddle Whips crack and chainsaw`s roaring Diesel pumping, Timber falling Hoses lying across in droves Beat around the bush, Sweat dry as a bone 24 hours felt like days As ash wednesday fire burnt away A victoria cross for every man On this day, Of total fire ban.
