Shelters
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.
