The Djaara Seasonal Calendar
Bring the Six Djaara Seasons Into Your Classroom, Today.
Transform the way your students understand seasons, Country and culture.
This beautifully designed Djaara Six Seasons Educational Poster places Djaara knowledge alongside the school curriculum. Opening powerful conversations about how Djaara people have read and responded to the rhythms of Country for tens of thousands of years.
Clear. Culturally respectful. Classroom-ready. Backed by lesson plans and resources.
Perfect for educators who want to:
✔ Deliver authentic place-based learning
✔ Strengthen curriculum links to Country, culture and environment
✔ Engage students in meaningful First Nations perspectives
This isn’t just a poster, it’s a doorway to deeper understanding.
And it’s just the beginning.
Available Resources
Barramal (Emu) and Milakuk (Lightning) time
January to March
The hottest and driest time of the year. The night sky is bright with stars. Barramal pair up and prepare to lay their eggs.
Murna (Yam Daisy) and Ngarri (Black Duck) time
April
Ngarri begin their courtship and nest making. Djaara collect the duck eggs early in the season so the ducks have time to lay more eggs. Murna is flowering and was an abundant staple food until severely impacted by the arrival of cattle and sheep.
Way-Galk (Golden Wattle) and Datim-datim (Boomerang) time
May to June
When the wattles bloom, a sweet drink is made from the gum and flowers of the black wattle. Timber from the silver wattle is used to make wooden tools, including the darnuk (coolamon) and Datim-datim (boomerang).
Wanyarra (Water) and Gurri (Kangaroo) time
July to August
The rain is heavy and the waterholes fill. The creeks and rivers run high and spill over Djandak (Dja Dja Wurrung Country). Gurri are active and it’s good hunting time.
Boyn (Bread) and Lawan (Mallee Fowl) time
September to October
The days become warmer and the bush bursts into life. Murna seeds and tubers are used to make Boyn (bread). Lawan nest and lay their eggs.
Giranal (Perch) and Wirrap (Cod) time
