I have not once heard anyone refer to the experts in land management and reduction burning - our indigenous peoples.
Been plenty of that on the Media. Cultural burning it is now called .
Back in the 50s I was taught that the country was burnt to "muster" animals for food and to also entice animals to feed on the new growth when it rained after a burn. This enabled easier hunting.
Or was I taught an urban myth?

I would still prefer a fleet of CL515, even though we may have to wait. We could also manufacturer then in OZ. Just re-open the old GAF!!
