One and a half million hectares of Yuin Country was destroyed by the 2019/2020 mega fires in the South Coast of New South Wales. These fires killed countless animals, plants and insect species - some of which are now on the brink of extinction. Many members of the South Coast Yuin Community call these mega fires, ‘Wrong Fire,’ fires that can’t be controlled and have the capacity to injure and kill. This type of fire is vastly different to Right Fire, often called Cultural Burning. Right Fire has been practised for thousands of years and has the capacity to heal and care for all.    Content warning this feature contains stories from the 2019/2020 Fires.   Guests:  Andrew White Uncle Nook Vikki Parsley   Credits: Producer: Alice Ansara Executive producer and sound design: Sarah Mashman Engineer: Tegan Nicholls Theme music by Oliver Beard Additional music by Blue Dot Sessions Minga-Yung - Your Mother by Jordan Nye Management team: Abe Killian and Sime Knecevic In co-operation with 2EAR, Moruya   This podcast was made on the lands of the Walbunga and the Yuin Nation and the lands of the muwinina people from Country around nipaluna.
