This book is dedicated to all the soldiers of the 8th Australian Division, especially those who were sent to Borneo and did not come home
There are four fires of our dreaming.
The bushfire of our land’s renewal.
The war fire of good men killing.
The soul fire of a different God.
The fires of a consuming love.
They are the bitter/sweet
chalice from which we
all drink and which,
in turn, make us
what we are.
These
fires
of
the
white fella’s dreaming.
