Australia

Kangaroos frolic through the grass

Gum trees dance in the warm, bright sun

Flowers sing through the night

Animals rest deep in the ground

Humans came

Fire followed

A thick coat of ash covered the gumtrees 

Graveyards of flowers stretched for kilometres

Animals left their homes seeking a safe place 

The smoke travelled quickly swallowing everything

People tried to help

People acted like they were trying to help
