Cultural Burn

Great day out on country with Senior Students from GIHS, experiencing a Cultural burn which involves the application of fire using culturally informed knowledge and ecologically sensitive techniques that are locally appropriate for the diverse range of landscapes and ecosystems that exist all around Australia. Fire is an important mechanism for enabling Aboriginal.

Cultural Burns (also known as Cool Burnings) is a traditional Aboriginal land management practice that has been used for over 60,000 years to reduce fire hazards, encourage new growth of culturally-significant species, and protect native wildlife already living on Country.

Cultural Burn Day at The Willows - Quote by Lily Cooke Year 11

It was great honour to be able to go out and experience the burn in person. It was an even greater privilege to be apart of the smoking ceremony and welcome onto the land of the Ngarabul People. We learnt many things today, such as burning from the top of the hill down, black ash is the ash you want because white ash and flames from the fire is too hot and leeching nutrients out of the soil.

It was an awesome experience to see in real life and to be on country.
