23.01.2022 It's National NAIDOC Week! To help celebrate Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander history and culture, this week we'll be sharing the traditional weather knowl...edge gathered by Australian communities over thousands of years. SeptemberNovember is Laju (the hot season) in the seasonal calendar of the Yawuru peoplethe native title holders of land and sea in and around Broome, Western Australia. From October to November is the build up to the wet season, when the days are very warm and the humidity is high. The first rains indicate the end of Laja. It is a time when the seed pods of the various acacias (soap tree, pindan wattle) have split open. The wild pear and cocky apple are bearing fruit but it is not ripe yet. The white gum trees are flowering and attract the honey fly. The honey fly makes honey nests in the Jigily tree and Inland Bloodwood which is collected and eaten. Wood and bark from the paperbark is collected for shelters in preparation for the wet. Explore our Indigenous Weather Knowledge website at http://www.bom.gov.au/iwk/ #NAIDOC2020
