SUMMARY:Start of Djilba
DESCRIPTION:Instead of the usual 4 seasons, Noongar people beautifully describe the change in climate with 6 seasons, and we’re currently in Djilba. Pronounced JILL-BAH, Djilba is the Season of Conception, embracing us through August and September.\nDjilba kicks off with the vibrant blossoming of yellow acacias, marking the beginning of a massive flowering explosion in our Southwest. It’s a transitional time of year, bringing a mix of cold and clear days, warmer, rainy, and windy days, and the occasional sunny day or two.\nAs the days warm up, nature awakens with the first sounds and sights of newborns guided by their proud parents. Birds, like the protective Kulbardi (Magpies) and Djidi Djidi (Willy Wagtails), exhibit swooping behaviour as their babies are still nest-bound.\nTraditionally, Djilba was a time when land-based grazing animals like yongka (kangaroo), wetj (emu), and koomool (possum) became essential food sources. It’s a season of connection, growth, and preparation for the abundance that lies ahead.\nKeep an eye out on our school for the beauty of wildflowers and the territorial behaviours of kulbardi (magpies) as they protect their young during this special time. 🌿\nAs Djilba progresses and temperatures rise, watch for the emergence of flower stalks from the balgas (grass-trees), a prelude to the coming season of Kambarang. Nature’s dance continues, and we are fortunate to witness the wonders of Djilba.\n
