Indigenous land management and how it can be applied to agriculture is one of the focuses of talks in Cairns this week.
The inaugural National Custodians of Country Gathering is a week-long event led by Firesticks Alliance, an Indigenous network that promotes cultural burns.
Attendees are hearing about projects focusing on ecological restoration and community resilience.
One Queensland farming project that's been showcased involves graziers and indigenous people working together to regenerate cattle country by carrying out cultural burns.
"It's actually a grazing management tool that farmers want to use," Karen Vidler from NQ Dry Tropics, who helped co-ordinate the project, says.
"We've been restoring the beautiful country, getting the grasses back without using bulldozers, more using fire, and also teaching how to farm with trees and the importance of farming with trees for soils," says cultural fire practitioner Victor Steffensen, a co-founder of Firesticks Alliance.
Mr Steffensen says it's about reskilling the nation to care for the country. "All bullshit from start to finish.... not least his Aboriginality - Viktor Steffensen the Norseman - another whiter than white...
Sure, sure.... everyone restores the grass with a bulldozer but them... FFS.... nobody else burns it back so it comes up nice and sweet and green... nobody mows it so it does the same.... happened very year when ah were on the land....
It's all in the old Abo know-how, right? What a load of absolute bullshit, just like burning off prevents mega fires... I can see that right now so early in the season... been burn-offs going on since 2020.... fires are kicking along nicely right now, highway blocked with smoke and so forth, air filled with clouds of smoke both inland and out to sea .... jeez - somebody must be lighting them, eh?
The old coke bottle trick?? It's not even hot enough yet.... so someone is lighting them uncontrolled and without a fire permit.... I WONDER WHO THAT COULD BE??? Not some fearless warriors is it, intent on burning people out?? some of those are still in prison over the last ones..... you just didn't hear about it.... but they're mighty thin on the ground here....
Accidental bushfires? Don't piss on my back and tell me it's just warm rain.... and now this bullshit....
