"''Australia's a lovely land

''It's full of bonza blokes,

''Sheilas, beer and no-one's queer

''Except in Pommie jokes.

''Australians are lovely chaps

''They're God's own chosen race.

''If they ever see a fairy Pom

''They'll smash him in the face.

''Australians like dressing up

''In skirts and having fun

''And that's all we were doing

When the Vice Squad came along."

"'' Lightning cracked in the sky of this desolate wasteland, yet despite the thunderclouds, which painted the sky the colour of a bruise, there was no relief for this parched land. The ruins of a dead city, smothered in dust the colour of blood, were revealed in each flash of light. And in those brief moments of light, things could be seen moving, things that moved in a way which was anathema to the human eye, all squirming and crawling and too many legs.

''  Some would have called this place Hell.

''  Fools. The depths of the horrors imagined by Dante could not match the abominations that dwelt in this place.

This was Australia."
