Part
1. We meet the family and the animals as catastrophic events are
starting and finishing in the far reaches of the universe.
Part 2. Lucia,
Vet and Eve are on their way to the Blue Mountains outside Sydney. They
pass through burned-out towns, and see a wooden hall standing where a
stone and brick house was reduced to ashes.
Part 3. Camp Cangaru. All is dry, fires are looming. Lucia has taken control of the children, the adults, and the animals.
Part
4. Fires surround Camp Cangaru, but some miles away. The camp prepares
for evacuation, and for fire. The father and mother sense danger, and
celebrate their 25th wedding anniversary.
Part 5.
Catastrophe strikes and potential catastrophe strikes. Vet and Elizabeth
sense the danger and use every prayer they can to keep the sisters out
of trouble. Elizabeth prays that she is taken instead of the sisters,
and puts herself in danger. It is Philip and Elizabeth's
25th wedding anniversary, and they travel across the water of Sydney
Harbor to the Sydney Opera House to listen to the opera Aida. At the
finale, when the stone is rolled in front of the cave containing Aida
and her lover Radames, Philip collapses. At that moment, fires have
encircles the camp-house containing the sisters.
