Biri means fire in Aboriginal language. It has a spiritual sense full of stories and traditional knowledge, that have passed from generation to generation for millennia.
Professor Cristina Montiel-Molina is carrying out a research project during her three-months stay in The Centre for the Study of the Inland at La Trobe University, Melbourne to study the cultural basis of Aboriginal burns and its potential contribution to wildfire risk management in the north-central Victorial, Australia.
