The Land Is Too Hot - Dave Bradley
As an Irishman in Australia, the smell of wood smoke in the air always evokes a mixture of homely comfort and primal fear. To see smoke clouds over the hills makes my heart leap into my mouth and hope it is a controlled burn. The landscape still bears the scars of last year’s bushfires which destroyed so much of the natural world. As each record-breaking temperature season passes, there is no doubt that one day the smoke I will see will not be under control.
