"The land the English settled was not as God made it. It was as the Aborigines made it."
Hallam provides evidence of Aboriginal use of fire in the south west of Western Australia, the place of fire in the pattern of Aboriginal land use and way of life. The effect of fire on vegetation and on European settlement is also explored. (Preamble)
