Episode Synopsis

As bushfires start burning earlier each year, a winemaker in Tasmania is preparing by asking his local Aboriginal group to do a cultural burn. The vineyard is at Flowerpot, about an hour's drive south of Hobart. Those lighting the fires are caring for country, and themselves as the burns help them connect with ancient knowledge, wisdom, and culture.
