Episode Details

The Yuwi people in north Queensland have successfully revived their traditional cultural healing burn, a practice used for over sixty thousand years, for the first time since colonization. This event, held at Cape Hillsborough National Park, involved using low-intensity fires to clear scrub and invasive plants, promoting healthy growth and reducing wildfire risks. The burn was deeply emotional for the Yuwi community, helping heal both the land and the people. It marked a significant step forward after a long fight for native title and the loss of past practices. Now, Queensland Parks and Wildlife rangers are collaborating with Yuwi elders to apply these techniques across more areas, marking a new era of better outcomes and stronger connections.
