We proudly offered over 36,000 trees and native plants to our community in the recent Free Trees and Plants giveaway.

One of the groups that benefited from this, was local aged care facility Juniper Chrystal Halliday Residential Care in Karrinyup!

It was a special moment seeing residents come together, getting their hands in the soil and planting their new trees and native plants.

Residents shared how meaningful it was to play a part in growing the urban canopy, while also creating a beautiful, living space that welcomes native wildlife right to their doorstep. Juniper Retirement Living Coordinator Sharon said the project has brought the community closer through planning and planting, and has even inspired more waterwise habits among residents.

Makuru – Blue (wooyan) symbolises rain and cold weather (June/July) ☁️

This is the time to have your house storm ready as Makaru sees the coldest and wettest time of the year come into full swing. Traditionally, this was a good time of the year to move back inland from the coast as the winds turned to the west and south bringing the cold weather, rains and occasionally snow on the peaks of the Stirling and Porongurup Ranges.

As the waterways and catchments started to fill, people were able to move about their country with ease and thus their food sources changed from sea, estuarine and lake foods to those of the lands in particular the grazing animals such as the kangaroo. As well as a food source, animals provided people with many other things. For example, 'Yongar' or kangaroos not only provided meat but also 'bookas' (animal skin cloaks that were used as the nights became much cooler). Nothing was left; even the bones and sinews were used in the manufacturing of bookas and for hunting tools such as spears.

Makuru is also a time for a lot of animals to be pairing up in preparation for breeding in the coming season. If you look carefully, you might now see pairs of 'Wardongs' (ravens) flying together. You also notice these pairs not making the usual 'ark ark arrrrrk' that these birds are well known for when flying solo. Upon the lakes and rivers of the Southwest, you'll also start to see a large influx of the Black Swan or 'Mali' as they too prepare to nest and breed.

Flowers that will start to emerge include the blues and purples of the Blueberry Lilly (Dianella revoluta) and the Purple Flags (Patersonia occidentalis). As the season comes to a close, you should also start to notice the white flowers of the weeping peppermint (Agonis flexuosa) as the blues start to make way for the white and cream flowers of Djilba.

ARTWORK | Local Aboriginal-owned graphic design agency, Norlap Creative, partnered with artist Teresa Miller to create six original artworks for the City of Stirling that share the story of the six Nyoongar seasons and Mooro Country native flora and fauna. We hope you love them as much as we do!
