SUMMARY:Bunuru\, the Second Summer
DESCRIPTION:The second summer\, or the season of adolescence \nBunuru generally falls over the February-March calendar period and is the hottest time of the year in Nyungar boodja (country)\, with little to no rain. Hot easterly winds continue\, with a cooling sea breeze most afternoons if you’re close to the coast. \nTherefore this was\, and still is\, a great time for living and fishing by the coast\, rivers and estuaries. Freshwater foods and seafood traditionally made up major parts of the diet during this time of year and still do today. We are never far from the Ngarngungudditj Walgu (Collie River) or the ocean at the moment\, swimming\, spending time with family\, fishing and gathering. \nBunuru is also a time of the white flowers\, with lots of white flowering gums in full bloom\, including jarrah\, marri and the tuart. Nectar feeding birds\, insects and mammals just love the marri blossom in particular and this year’s display is really impressive\, with masses of creamy-white deliciousness. Keep an eye out and you will see what we mean! \nAnother striking plant that is hard to go past at this time of the year is the female djiriji or zamia palm (Macrozamia riedlei). Being much larger than that of its male counterpart\, the huge cones emerge from the centre of the plant with masses of a cotton wool like substance\, called kundyl. \nAs the hot\, dry weather continues the seeds (called bayu) upon the cones change from green to bright red\, indicating they’re ripening and becoming more attractive to animals\, particularly the emu\, that will eat the toxic fleshy outer. Traditionally\, this is also the time that they were collected by Nyungar women\, for lengthy processing prior to eating. \n

SUMMARY:Chill out\, Djeran is here!
DESCRIPTION:Djeran (April – May) \nAnt season\, or the season of adulthood \nDjeran sees a break in the really hot weather and generally spans April to May. A key indicator of the change of season is the cool nights\, that once again bring dew for us to discover in the early mornings. As the season progresses the nights will become cooler and damper\, along with some cool and rainy days. \nThe winds have also changed\, especially in their intensity\, with light breezes generally swinging from the south-east to south-west. \nMany flying ants can be seen cruising around in the light winds. The previous season’s young have reached maturity and most have either left their parents or are getting ready to. This is why it is also often referred to as the ant season or the season of adulthood. \nDjeran is a time of red flowers\, including the red flowering gum (Corymbia ficifolia) on the south coast\, as well as the smaller and more petite flowers of the summer flame (Beaufortia aestiva) in the north of Nyungar Country. You may also notice the red ‘rust’ and seed cones forming on the male and female sheoaks (Allocasuarina fraseriana)\, called condil. Banksias start to display their flowers too. \nTraditionally\, foods at this time of year included the seeds (bayu) that had been collected and stored for treatment from the zamia (djiriji) last season along with the root bulbs of the yanget (rushes)\, bardi grubs\, fresh water fish\, kooyar (frogs)\, yakaarn (turtles) and quenda (southern brown bandicoot). Mia-mias (houses or shelters) were repaired and reinforced at this time of year also\, to make sure they were waterproofed and facing in the right direction in readiness for the cold and wet weather to come. \nNowadays\, it’s a great time of year to go for a bush walk or a fish….usually….Given the unnerving and somewhat bizarre situation we find ourselves in at the moment\, with the global COVID-19 pandemic forcing us to limit our interaction with each other and the outside world\, the crew at Kooyar Wongi have been feeling philosophical. We have been reflecting on just how beautiful our South West natural environment is\, how lucky we are to have it on our doorstep\, and how much we miss it! We have also been reflecting on just how lucky we are to have each other\, our family\, our friends and our usual quality of life. \nAs they say\, “This too shall pass.”. But until it does\, look after yourselves and your loved ones. Seeya on the other side! #wereallinthistogether

SUMMARY:NATIONAL SORRY DAY
DESCRIPTION:Observed annually on 26 May\, National Sorry Day remembers and acknowledges the mistreatment of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people who were forcibly removed from their families and communities\, which we now know as ‘The Stolen Generations’. \nNational Sorry Day is a day to acknowledge the strength of Stolen Generations Survivors and reflect on how we can all play a part in the healing process for our people and nation. While this date carries great significance for the Stolen Generations and other Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples\, it is also commemorated by Australians right around the country. \nThe first National Sorry Day was held on 26 May 1998\,  one year after the Bringing Them Home report was tabled in Parliament. The Bringing Them Home report is a result of a Government Inquiry into the past policies which caused children to be removed from their families and communities in the 20th century.

SUMMARY:National Reconciliation Week 2020
DESCRIPTION:National Reconciliation Week (NRW) is a time for all Australians to learn about our shared histories\, cultures\, and achievements\, and to explore how each of us can contribute to achieving reconciliation in Australia. \nThe dates for NRW remain the same each year; 27 May to 3 June. These dates commemorate two significant milestones in the reconciliation journey— the successful 1967 referendum\, and the High Court Mabo decision respectively. \nThe theme for #NRW2020 – In this together – is now resonating in ways that could not have been foreseen when it was announced last year\, but it reminds us that\, whether in a crisis or in reconciliation\, we are all in this together. \nReconciliation is a journey for all Australians – as individuals\, families\, communities\, organisations and importantly as a nation. At the heart of this journey are relationships between the broader Australian community and Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. \nWe all have a role to play when it comes to reconciliation\, and in playing our part we collectively build relationships and communities that value Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples\, histories\,  cultures\, and futures. \nFind out more about National Reconciliation Week \nCheck out 20 ways you can be In this together in 2020

SUMMARY:Rug up for Makuru!
DESCRIPTION:MAKURU (JUNE – JULY)\nCold and wet season\, or the season of fertility \nMakaru sees the coldest and wettest time of the year come into full swing\, as the winds turn to the west and south bringing the cold weather\, rains and occasionally even snow on the peaks of the Stirling and Porongurup Ranges. Traditionally\, this was a good time of the year to move back inland from the coast. And it was a good time to rug up and keep warm in the mia mia (house/shelter) near the karl/kaarla (fire). In some ways\, nothing much has changed because we’ve certainly been staying inside where it’s warm and cozy!
