Our first peoples already have a blueprint to remake the fire-ravaged land, it's in our country's...

A water feature and aquaculture system that is 6,600 years old has presumably survived the bushfires. We need to listen and learn from Aboriginal elders and the original custodians of Australia in order to prepare for future fires and climate change.
