Burning Bush – A Fire History of Australia

As what seems like nearly half of Australia is burning, I thought listeners might like to hear from one of the foremost experts on the history of fires in Australia – Stephen J .Pyne.

An acknowledged world authority, he tells us why we are doing it all wrong in this country- and what true ‘fire management’ actually entails. A thoroughly researched and in depth look at how fire has shaped the Australian landscape- and why we are suffering devastating blazes, and a warning of many more to come in the future.
