Body
Fire occurs infrequently in Australia's most extensive plant community, the mulga lands (see map 3, Moore 1970) . Under present management, the average interval between fires would be in the order of 20 to 50 years, that is, a once in a lifetime event for a manager. Before white settlement, fires occurred more frequently because of greater fuel buildup and deliberate lighting of fires by Aborigines . . . . .
