Been working on a seasonal calendar for Melbourne that makes more sense than northern hemisphere bollocks, I’ve put it together from various sources. Enjoy 🙏

The Wurundjeri people, who are part of the Kulin Nation, are the traditional owners of the land now known as the Melbourne area in Australia. Their calendar is closely tied to the seasonal changes and natural phenomena specific to their region.

Biderap (Early Summer):
- December and January mark the beginning of Biderap, the early summer season.
- The weather is usually warm with occasional rain showers.
- Plants and trees begin to flower, including wattle, cherry ballart, and blue flax lily.
- Eels start to migrate downstream from freshwater rivers to estuaries.

Iuk (Mid-Summer):
- February and March represent Iuk, the mid-summer season.
- The weather becomes hotter and drier.
- The flowering season continues, with wattles, purple coral pea, and tea trees blooming.
- Reptiles, such as snakes, are active during this time.
- The Wurundjeri people traditionally held ceremonies to mark the summer solstice.

Waring (Late Summer):
- April and May signify Waring, the late summer season.
- The weather starts to cool down, but days can still be warm.
- Fruits like bush tomatoes and lilly pilly begin to ripen.
- Koalas are more active and can be spotted in trees.
- Possums and other animals start to feed on the ripening fruits.

Woorr (Early Winter):
- June and July mark Woorr, the early winter season.
- The weather gets colder, and rain becomes more frequent.
- Many plants shed their leaves, and fungi start to appear.
- The Wurundjeri people would traditionally gather for ceremonies, storytelling, and sharing of knowledge during this time.
- Emus start nesting, and echidnas can be seen foraging for food.

Beek (Mid-Winter):
- August and September represent Beek, the mid-winter season.
- The weather is typically cold, with occasional frost.
- Some plants, like the native cherry, produce edible fruit.
- The Wurundjeri people focus on maintaining and repairing their tools during this time.
- Many birds, including cockatoos and galahs, gather in large flocks.

Guling (Late Winter):
- October and November signify Guling, the late winter season.
- The weather starts to warm up, and occasional rain showers occur.
- The land becomes greener as plants and trees prepare to flower.
- The Wurundjeri people begin planning for the upcoming warmer seasons.
- Many migratory birds start returning to the area.

If I have gotten anything wrong let me know.
Working on a wall calendar too, but my designs skills have a lot to be desired.
Also working on a Boonwurung version.

Sacred Kingfisher seen on a bird survey at Merri Creek in #Fawkner

Sacred #Kingfishers visit #MerriCreek in the #Wurundjeri seasons of Porneet- Buath Garru (Sept to Dec) after their long journey from #Indonesia.

This stand-alone building in #collingwood #Australia is wrapped entirely of #Australian #Indigenous art.

Painted by Ky-ya Nicholson-Ward, from the #Wurundjeri people.

The Wurundjeri people are Australian Aboriginal peoples from the #KulinNation. They are the Traditional Owners of the Birrarung (Yarra River) Valley, covering much of the present location of Narrm (Melbourne).

The messages are clear, and are supported wholeheartedly by the vast majority of #Australians; #AboriginalLivesMatter, #NoMoreDeathsInCustody and #truth, #justice and #healing.

I stand in solidarity with our traditional owners of the land; #Australias #Indigenous peoples past, present and emerging.
