TERN eNewsletter: Australian fire patterns determined by tropical monsoons
The pattern of bushfires in Australia is shaped by the rainfall that comes with the tropical summer monsoon, a research group has found.

Management Project - Protecting World Heritage Values by reducing the impact of hot, late season fire
The project will reduce the impact of hot, late dry season fires by reducing fuel loads adjacent to the Bungle Bungle massif World Heritage area in areas of highest risk. Aboriginal people will be intimately involved in the planning and implementation of all burning conducted under this project. (Text from Caring for our Country funding - accessed 21 February 2012)
