June Newsletter: Embracing Native and Indigenous Foods

Understanding the patterns of the landscape in which we live and grow our food is crucial.In the Illawarra, we are on D’harawal land. We acknowledge the Traditional Custodians, the Wodi-Wodi People, who have lived sustainably in this landscape for thousands of years and understand the complex and interconnected cycles of weather, plants and animals.  The Food Fairness Illawarra team recently caught up with D’harawal Traditional Knowledge-holder Dr Frances Bodkin, to learn a small slice of her extensive knowledge about the seasons and cycles in our area. We are now integrating Auntie Fran’s knowledge into our regular newsletter, by highlighting one of the six D’harawal seasons in each issue. As the weather gets colder, and the days get shorter, we enter ‘Tugarah Tuli’, the time of the Burrugin(echidnas). Check out our summary of the D’harawal seasons and cylces, as well as a story on the Tugarah Tuli season, highlighting things to look out for in the landscape during the colder months.
