Nharangga dhura (Narungga people) have used sophisticated land management practices for tens of thousands of years. Knowing where, when and how often to culturally gambadja (burn) their yarda (land) comes from an intimate connection and understanding. It encourages biodiversity through regeneration. It plays an important role in reducing scrub and fuel load, mitigating the effects of extreme bush fires. It is an important cultural practice connecting Nharangga dhura to Nharangga banggara (Narungga Country).
The cultural revival of cool burning is an integral element in Narungga people caring for Country, and continuing cultural gardla (fire) knowledge practice. This will benefit all people on Nharangga banggara.
