Burning the Bush
When driving around the topend we've notice lots of bush fires. Interestingly these aren't wild fires but set very deliberately. Aboriginies have burnt the bust each year for thousands of years to make the land more passable, make hunting easier, and prevent wild fires at a later stage. The Australians continue this practice now in the top end.
