47 Degrees Character Maps
47 Degrees
At 3:18 pm, the thermometer outside the community hall read 47°C. Heat shimmered above the road, and the air smelled of eucalyptus. A bushfire had jumped the creek. Smoke turned the afternoon orange. Twelve-year-old Hudson gripped the hall’s emergency radio. Her hands were shaking, but she kept her voice steady. “The walking track is blocked,” she told the volunteer at the other end. “Tell the families to use the eastern gate.” Her younger brother, Finn, stood beside a stack of water bottles. Before the fire, he had teased Hudson for checking every map twice. Now he was quiet and pale. “I can carry these to the back room,” he said. He lifted two bottles, then stopped when he heard a crackle from the radio. A family arrived at the hall looking for their dog, Patch. Hudson wanted to run outside and search, but the volunteer reminded her that the fire was moving quickly. Hudson swallowed her disappointment and asked the family to describe Patch. Finn noticed a muddy lead under a chair and recognised it from the dog’s collar. The family had brought Patch inside before leaving home; he was safe in a carrier near the first-aid table. When the all-clear came later, Hudson sat down hard on the floor. Finn passed her a bottle of water. “You didn’t have to do everything yourself,” he said. Hudson gave a tired laugh. “Neither did you.” Outside, the sky was still smoky, but the two of them began stacking the remaining supplies together.
