The prospect of an ever increasing drying and inflammable countryside is one Australians are having to come to terms with.
No longer just a ‘dry year’, 2019/2020 has brought an awareness to Australia and the rest of the world of what climate change is going to wreak upon our lives.
Historically, fire has always been present in the Australian landscape – sometimes under human control , sometimes naturally produced . What will be the impact in the future?.
Stephen J Pyne is an acknowledged world expert on fire and his book ‘Burning Bush – A fire history of Australia’ is an in depth. Scholarly and scientific account of how fire has shaped one of the driest continents on earth.
He is going to read from the beginning of his book, where he documents white arrival in Australia and afterwards we will talk about the implications of a drier world.
