[For Lenore Stephens] When lightning strikes the
farm of the famous footballer, no one panics. The strike develops into a red
alert. Everyone has their special bushfire plan. It’s leave now. Hepburn Springs
is the most familiar name on the emergency map. Everyone everywhere suddenly
seems to know someone in or around Hepburn Springs. No one panics. A phone call,
a text message, is required. Smoke above the
coasts informed the telescope of the famous explorer. Watercolours materialized.
No one panicked. Bushfires appeared to be the norm. No one knew anyone setting
those fires. February was no busier than normal.
