Aboriginal & Torres Strait Islanders (ATSI)
Indigenous Culture within Mooro Country
The Aboriginal culture has six seasons Birak, Bunura, Djerin, Makaru, Djilba and Kambarange compared to our four seasons.
Djerin (April to May)
Cooler weather begins. Also know as the Season of Adulthood.
"The people travelled down to the river, burning the land they had just come from to ensure food was plentiful the next time they were there. Great feasts of mullet (quella) and zamia seeds took place on the banks of the Swan. The omega three oil ensured everyone was fattened up to last the winter." - extracted from the City of Joondalup Mooro Boodjar flyer.
