[Terrapreta] wildfire

[Michael Bailes]

Yes probably true
The Australian Aborigines always used fire to manage the land here for over
40,000 years.
 Many believe they used 'cold' burning and protected productive areas of
rainforest fruit.
Now bushfire control people do try to burn the bush in winter to reduce the
fire hazard.
