About this product

Product Information

Delving deep into the Australian landscape and the environmental challenges we face, Fire Country is a powerful account from Indigenous land management expert Victor Steffensen on how the revival of cultural burning practices, and improved 'reading' of country, could help to restore our land. From a young age, Victor has had a passion for traditional cultural and ecological knowledge. This was further developed after meeting two Elders, who were to become his mentors and teach him the importance of cultural burning. Developed over many generations, this knowledge shows clearly that Australia actually needs fire. Moreover, fire is an important part of a holistic approach to the environment, and when burning is done in a carefully considered manner, this ensures proper land care and healing. Victor's story is unassuming and honest, while demonstrating the incredibly sophisticated and complex cultural knowledge that has been passed down to him, which he wants to share with others. Fire Country is written in a way that reflects the nature of yarning, and while some of the knowledge shared in this book may not align with Western views, there is much evidence that, if adopted, it could greatly benefit all Australians.

  • Must read for land managers

    Enlightening and informative history of how Victor learned from indigenous fire experts in Far North Queensland and worked with James Cook university to start to return Australian landscapes to their pre European settlement health. He explains the fear of fire faced by Australians in general and the problems arising after excluding indigenous fire practices, Most notably the catastrophic fires from lack of management and poor health of the landscape. It is incredible to read the steps required to undertake the initial burns in FNQ and how the expertise has spread across the country.
