| # Protection from the Weather The Burarra people traditionally make shelters from the bark of stringybark trees or paperbark trees. Some of these traditional shelters have two levels. A small fire is sometimes lit underneath so the smoke wafts through the second level, keeping the mosquitoes away. A bark shelter provides protection from the rain and the wind and also shade from the hot Sun.
