From fire to forage: Insights for productive and resilient spinifex lands
2026-05-21 13:00 - 14:00 (Australia/Brisbane) | Online webinar, Australia
What if spinifex country holds more grazing potential than we’ve been using?
Spinifex (Triodia species) covers over 25% of Australia’s landmass and is a dominant feature across northern rangelands. Despite its extensive coverage, practical knowledge around managing spinifex pastures for grazing remains limited and often untapped.
To shed light on this vital yet underexplored resource, insights were gathered from 21 pastoralists, 5 Traditional Owners, and 7 rangeland scientists from the Pilbara, Kimberley, and Central Australia. Together, their experiences reveal practical strategies that balance sustainable grazing and fire management to unlock the potential of spinifex country.
From Fire to Forage: Insights for Productive and Resilient Spinifex Lands 📅 21 May 2026 | 11:00am AWST (1:00pm AEST, 12:30pm NT)
Join Matthew Fletcher (Range Assist, Kununurra WA) and Mervyn Wortley (Ruby Plains Station, Halls Creek WA) as they delve into the science, stories, and strategies for managing spinifex for productivity and resilience.
This engaging session will explore:

Why spinifex matters in grazing systems
How fire can be used to lift feed quality and manage pasture
The balance between cool and hot burns for spinifex health
On-ground experience from Ruby Plains Station
Supplementary feeding strategies in spinifex country

If you work in northern rangelands, this is a chance to rethink what spinifex country can actually do for your operation.
