In May 2021, the Kaurna Kardla Parranthi Cultural Burn took place in Tuthangga (Park 17) in the South Park Lands. The Cultural Burn was the first time Kaurna people were able to publicly practice cultural burning techniques since many of their customs were displaced following European colonisation. It was also the first time a cultural burn has been undertaken in a capital city in Australia. The Kaurna Cultural Activity Day is an opportunity to share Kaurna knowledge with the community.
