A Kaurna cultural burn, held in the Adelaide parklands at Tuthangga (Park 17) on 14 May 2021, shared traditional practice, cultural expression and caring for country.

Led by the Kaurna community and supported by the City of Adelaide, Green Adelaide, and the National Parks and Wildlife Service SA, the burn created an opportunity for traditional owners to camp on the land, light a campfire and open up conversations.
