Location: Snowy River National Park, VIC
Words and visuals by L.J. van Eijck
Down the car creeps into the valley
Signs twisted bend towards different directions
The sky above as brilliant as ever
Around me a pallet of deep Greens, Brown and Black
Sticks and stones and broken homes
Fire ate through fences and spat out bleeding hearts
Bleeding hearts, the wicked embers
The wicked embers, seedlings in the sky
Sons lost to mothers grasped by tempest’s claws
Big frog Tiddalik grows thirstier by the year
Farmers shocked grasp their plows
Wambeen strikes again, thunder works the land
His hands etched into the landscape
Bloated tarmac cracks
Down in the valley the ground still breathes
Crimson heat beneath
