Change of seasons, Giranal (Perch) and Wirrap (Cod) time
Hargreaves Mall, Bendigo. 12.00pm, Monday November 3rd
The next changing of season will be Monday, 3rd November, when we will welcome the Giranal (perch) and Wirrap (Cod) time. Fish lay their eggs, and kangaroo grass seed is harvested.
DUMAWUL and City of Greater Bendigo hosted three lunchtime gatherings at 12pm in Hargreaves Mall, Bendigo, honouring Dja Dja Wurrung knowledge, Culture, and Country.
Dja Dja Wurrung People (Djaara) have long recognised six seasons, each carrying deep ecological wisdom—guiding when to harvest, hunt, and Care for Country in harmony with complex climate conditions. Despite the disruption caused by the imposed four-season model during colonisation, this invaluable knowledge and practice continue to thrive.
These successful events have brought together Indigenous and non-Indigenous workers from the region, allowing them to reflect and reconnect with place and season. Colleagues have gathered with curiosity and lunch in hand, embracing the wisdom and traditions of the land.
