The Day of the Fireball Narrated by Bruce Barry
Exactly one year ago this week, on 16 February 1983, bushfires swept through a score of towns and villages in southern Australia. Great fireballs exploded, causing one of Australia's worst natural disasters for more than 50 years. Seventy-six people died, hundreds of homes were destroyed, the hopes and dreams of many Australians reduced to ashes. The World About Us tells the story of 'Ash Wednesday' 1983, and reports on the aftermath: what it has meant to one small community, Mount Macedon, Victoria.

On this auspicious day - a day which is rumoured, incidentally, to coincide with the 50th birthday of reclusive impresario Barry Humphries - Sir Les introduces precious fragments from the BBC archive which relive the agony and the ecstasy of 'La Dame aux Gladiolas'.
