Bushfire lit by Aborigines during the dry season

---

Bushfire lit by Aborigines during the dry season to promote new growth. For thousands of years the traditional owners of the land have used fire to manage the land: to clean up the country, flush out game and promote new growth that in turn attracts animals. To Aboriginal people many small fires are preferable to one large fire. Kakadu National Park, Northern Territory, Australia
