COLOUR - DJERAN
To represent in-land travels
Through the Djeran Season, the initial sign emerges with the arrival of cooler nights, as the weather transitions to a more temperate state. This subtle shift in the atmosphere marks the beginning of Djeran and cool evenings hint at the imminent change in Season.
The morning dew slightly covers the land in a comforting blanket, evoking the knowledge that change is beginning. Djeran is the Season where the land begins the cooling process and brings with it the south-westerly winds.
Noongar people initiate the movement towards the heart of the country during this Season, journeying to the serene waters of lakes and estuaries.
The Kangaroos' fur is transforming into a lush fullness coat, a luxurious gift for the Noongar people, fuelling them with nourishment, sustenance, and offering skins as a source of warmth and comfort. Djeran has always been hailed as the Preparation Season, focusing on readying food, shelter (mia mia), and preparing the journey for the wet Season of Makuru.
