We've been helping Australians for 100 years

Sharing the past to prepare for the future

In a changing climate, this powerful documentary draws on some 65 thousand years of Indigenous knowledge, to help us better prepare for the future.

"Knowledge is only powerful when it's shared"

Den Barber - Cultural Fire Practitioner.

When a group of children gather round a campfire to hear stories from First Nation practitioners about our rapidly changing climate, they are taken on a journey of discovery. Traversing the country, we are introduced to storytellers who draw on the past to help us prepare for the future.

With thought provoking questions and answers, we learn about cultural practices for Fire, Flood, Heat, and weather preparedness.​
