It was, to some, a vision of Hell.
The temperature was in the forties Centigrade, with a fierce wind out of the northwest to fan the flames into whirling towers more than fifty feet high. Gum trees and brush exploded into flames as the fire approached, adding their fuel to the growing holocaust.
Hemmed in on three sides, their backs to the sea, volunteer firefighters and townspeople who had stayed behind to help them labored desperately to hold the fires back.
It looked like they would lose.
Suddenly, despite the wind, the clouds parted and a brilliant light shone down on the tableau. Furs covered in soot and ashes glanced first, before looking upward. Coughing and gasping on fumes, they saw a pure white cloud appear, parting to reveal rays of gold.
Out of the glory, a giant hand appeared.
And produced a marshmallow.
“It’s so hard to get one of these started,” a vast thunder of a voice echoed over the roar of the fires, “but it’s worth it . . . “

u r but if that don't just get Australian humour nothing will.
Oh my I needed that laugh
When Gabriel asked God: "What's cooking?"
God replied: "Australia."
I too have paid penance for bad jokes and made donations to the Kangaroo Island Animal Aid Groups. KI being local to me.
As I write this we now have some areas flooding and some rivers have had mass fish deaths because of ash and particles washed into the catchment areas killing the fish. We don't seem to have the winning hand on this.
*hugs*
