Dharawal Seasonal Calendar

Time of Burran

January to March
  • Gadalung Marool - hot and dry
  • Male kangaroos aggressive
  • Eating meat is forbidden because the heat means it does not keep well and food poisoning becomes a risk
  • Weetjellan blooming means fires should only be lit on sand and well away from bushland
  • Weetjellan also signals violent storms and heavy rain, so camping near creeks and rivers is not recommended
