Nyungar people formed the basis of a six season year described by the prevailing weather conditions with associated flora and fauna activities and growth.

 

Birak was the hot dry time over December and January

 

Bunuru covered late summer and early autumn over February and March

 

Djeran covered the cooler period of April and May

 

Makuru was early winter from June and July

 

Djilba spanned late winter and early spring over August and September

 

Kambarang with decreasing rain went from October to November

 

The Undalup Association is formed to hold festivals named after the seasons in which they are being held.  e.g. “Undalup Makuru Festival”

 

“Undalup Festival Inc.” translates from Nyungar language to mean “Busselton Festival Inc.”
