Important details from the source

• Dr Richard Walley OAM is a Noongar Elder, statesperson, artist and musician who has dedicated his life to sharing and preserving Noongar culture.
• He has worked across the fields of music, theatre, visual art and education.
• A champion of cross-cultural understanding, Dr Walley has been instrumental in bringing Noongar knowledge into contemporary contexts — from the stage to the dining table.
• His guidance in shaping Wildflower’s Six Seasons menu is part of a lifelong commitment to ensuring that Indigenous knowledge remains both celebrated and alive for future generations.
• The Indigenous Noongar people of Western Australia have lived in deep connection with their land for tens of thousands of years, guided by an ecological calendar of Six Seasons.
• Each season — Birak, Bunuru, Djeran, Makuru, Djilba and Kambarang — is marked not by dates but by changes in the environment: the blooming of native flowers, the life cycles of animals, the way plants grow, the arrival of cool winds or the intensity of summer heat.
• Each change signals another shift for the Noongar people, who in past centuries, would move with each season, walking between the coast, along the Swan River and up into the Perth Hills.
• “While the four conventional seasons are widely recognised, the six seasonal calendar is far more detailed and special to this part of the world,” says Dr Richard Walley.
• “It’s not just about the weather, but the plants and the animal life cycles.
• We’re lucky in the south-west to be a biodiversity hotspot, and to have unique flowers bloom in every one of the Six Seasons.”.
