Celebrate and learn from Djaara knowledge with this beautifully designed educational poster illustrating Djaara’s Six Seasons alongside the familiar Western calendar. Created as a culturally respectful and engaging classroom resource, this poster helps learners understand how Djaara people read and respond to the rhythms of Country, long before months and dates were used to mark seasonal change.
Rather than relying on fixed calendar dates, the Djaara seasonal cycle is guided by natural indicators; changes in weather, plant life, animal behaviours, and water patterns. This poster highlights key signs seen on Djandak (Djaara country) that signal the arrival of each season, including:
• Shifts in temperature, winds and rainfall
• Flowering, fruiting and dormancy of native plants
• Movements, breeding cycles and behaviours of local animals
• Changes in waterways, wetlands, and food availability
Designed for educators, students and community learning spaces, this poster supports:
• Place‑based learning
• Curriculum‑aligned discussions about Country, culture, and environment
• Understanding seasonal change beyond the four-season model
• Respectful engagement with Djaara knowledge systems
Printed in high-quality ink with clear seasonal explanations, visual cues and beautiful illustration by Djaara artist Drew Berick, this poster helps learners recognise that Country itself is the teacher, showing us when and how each season begins.
Perfect for classrooms, cultural education programs, early learning environments, community organisations, and anyone wanting to deepen their understanding of Djaara Country.
