As we head into June and July, we enter the season of Makuru. It brings blue and purple flowers on plants like the blueberry lily (Dianella revoluta), pictured here. It is also the season when the black swan or mali prepares to nest and breed in the waterways around the South West.
Makuru is one of the Noongar six seasons – these guide us to observe changes in nature to better understand plants and animals, and better care for Country through conserving biodiversity.
