Technically its not back burning, But a controlled burn. Back burning is used specifically as a firefighting strategy to deprive an oncoming fire of fuel. Either in a direct attack to the approaching fire or to widen an existing containment line (line of non-combustible material in the path of a fire eg. road, raked trail or burnt area)
Hazard Reduction The removal of flammable fuels in bush or grassland areas so as to reduce the intensity of a wild fire if it were to occur. Hazard reduction can be done by hand clearing, machine clearing or prescribed burning. Prescribed Burning Also known as “burning off”, “hazard reduction burning” or “controlled burning”.
Back burning is NOT hazard reduction

My oldest friend, who I have known since I was 8 (I'm now 40) has come through for me.....
I needed a road bicycle to take part in the ride to conquer cancer for Peter Mac hospital here in Vic and had hoped to borrow one from someone for the next 10 months while I train for it and ride it. Anyway being an ironman triathlete he has a few and has loaned me one of his.....amazing, full carbon Scott R3 beast. A great ride!
Even better, he's going to come down from Sydney and ride the 200km with me in support.
