Understanding the Six Seasons of the Noongar People in Western Australia
In short: Josh Byrne visits Noongar woman Marissa Verma at Bibra Lake to explore the deep connection between Noongar culture, local plants, and the six distinct seasons of their traditional Country.
The Noongar people, whose traditional lands are in Western Australia, observe a seasonal calendar consisting of six distinct periods. This system reflects an intimate knowledge of the environment, linking cultural history and plant life to the shifting conditions of the landscape.
By examining these seasonal cycles, one gains insight into how Indigenous ecological knowledge informs land management and horticultural practices. This perspective offers a way to understand the natural world through a lens that has been shaped by generations of stewardship on Noongar Country.
