One of the greatest ways we can connect to and care for Country is to observe, watch, listen and understand.
To care for Country, we need to develop relationships with ecosystems. Our Old People did that for thousands of years and have come to understand our Country and how it works. Any chance we get to learn from our Elders and cultural knowledge holders is the chance of a lifetime.
SEASONS AND CYCLES
We need to understand our seasonal cycles and how they are not necessarily related to our calendar year. It might be at the end of August, or it might be midway through spring – it’s not about the date, it’s about what’s happening with species relationships that signal these things.
