Body

The pre -settlement fire regime had a major influence on vegetation. Pastoral activities significantly modified the fire regime by altering the vegetation, the suppression of wildfires and deliberate burning.
Except for the mallee country, significant fuel accumulation is ephemeral and occurs infrequently. However, high fuel loads can develop rapidly. Most fires in the area involve tall grass fuel. . . . .
