Here one momentColin Buchanan writes,

“I wrote HERE ONE MOMENT in 1994 after the Sydney fires, which claimed life and property within about a 10 min drive of my home.

In 2001 the fires came up to the back of our house at about 2 am in the morning — I stayed, the family had been evacuated. It was quite an experience standing in my backyard when the flames finally appeared coming up through the bush. Being threatened by fire just makes the reports that much more real, even though we lost nothing.

I felt the Victorian fires — our worst ever with loss of life topping a horrifying 200 average Aussies — warranted a new verse for Here One Moment.”
