Noongar calendar: welcome to Djeran
The indigenous Noongar calendar has six seasons, and mid-way through autumn we are into the season known as Djeran.
Djeran brings a welcome break in the hot weather. A key indicator of the change of season are cool nights that bring dew in the morning. The winds change in their intensity, with lighter breezes. Keep an eye out for flying ants seen cruising on the gentler winds. Djeran is also a time of red flowers, especially the red flowering gum. Banksias also come into bloom, providing nectar for mammals and birds.
