The guys at Undara (lava tubes) talked about it a lot when we visited after the eclipse last year. Considered good land management. The alternative as others have said is dangerous widespread blazes. Much of the flora actually requires bushfires for germination. The natural state is bushfires all over the place in summer from lightning strikes, so if you don't do it yourself Mother Nature has a way of making it happen when you least expect anyway.
Great pic too Marc - thanks for sharing
