 One is that firefighters must first assemble at a central depot, then converge on a fire as a team. The other is that police must block off all roads to avoid confusion that sight-seers-create. But the battle against the Red Terror the No. 1 weapon is public education - simply because 94 per cent of all bush fires are man-made.

 Audrey Kenway's recent walk to Era was notable, apart from the company, for copious quantities of rain, mud and leeches.
 Camped at Era, the plump well-fed walkers were attacked by hordes of leeches, and so bitter was the conflict; one anonymous member of the party was forced to express him (or her) self in verse.

+Well, about this perambulator trip. It was something different; believe me. I've got a backache yet. First I roused the district. There is nothing like publicity; sometimes it produces results.
