Can you hear him now, early, before the sun rises, sometimes as early as the witching hour. Calling for his woman, it’s is time to find a partner, so the warbling may wake you up or greet you as you begin your day
BARROWORN ( Magpie) I hear his melodic call, awakening the sun. It is his voice that gives us the signal for sunrise.
He is the head communicator and you will find him on the council of the wise.
BARROWORNS dreaming story begins a long long time ago, when the sky covered the BEEK (Earth). When the Kulin people crawled around in the dark. BARROWORN being so smart and proud gathered together and worked to raise the sky so everyone could move around freely. They gathered some long sticks and fighting hard they began to lift the sky up, they placed the long sticks on small and big rocks and they slowly lifted the sky high. They lifted it so high that the BOORURN (sky) split open, showing the first beautiful CARMUGGIE N’YOWEENTH (sunrise).
BARROWORN was so happy to feel the light and warmth of the sun that he burst into a beautiful song.
BARROWORN sings to remind you to be grateful for the sun. You will hear BARROWORN alot right now, it is his time to not only greet the sun but to also sing his song of pride for his wife and children. Learn his story and Love your gift of a new day and the sunshine it brings. ❤️

My Jasmine is flowering so beautifully this year. Do you know as well as it’s gorgeous smell the flowers can ease stomach discomfort, spasms, and mild digestive issues. You can infuse a few flowers with your green tea to provide catechins that assist with fat burning and heart protection. Jasmine flowers offer powerful healing benefits, including stress reduction and mood enhancement.

It’s been a long Winter but PAREIP (Spring) is here
and flowers are
opening everywhere. Keep your eyes out for the BARROWORN ( Magpie), they are protecting their young now, as it is the season of the nesting birds.
The GARRONG (Black Wattle) slowly begin to flower, dropping their flowers in the CORINELLA (Running Water) to let the Bunurong who are now down in the low lands know that the KOON-WARRA (Swan) eggs are ready to collect. It is the return of the EOKE (EEL) which brings much celebration and YAIN YANG (Dance). The BAGGAROOK (Women) decorate their hair with the flowers of the murnong and the kangaroo apple, the Murnong and yams are beginning to flower indicating the tubers are nearly ready to eat. MURNALONGS (Bees) are swarming and the BEEK (Country) is filled with the sound of movement as the birds and animals awake with the return of the NOWEENTH ( Sun). As the days warm up the beautiful BOLLAM BOLLAM ( Butterfly) emerge and the Bunurong begin to set up WILLAM ( Camp) closer to the WARRAIN (Ocean), here they can enjoy fishing from the rocks and eat an abundance of green leafy foods that are now available. It is now time where day and night are equal and colour to the land has returned. PAREIP my favourite time of the year. All of the seasonal stories are available in my book Kulin Tales... stunning artwork by Judy Prosser

I’ve been very sick this week. A house full of visitors left a flu for us all in my little house. Normally I fall into a cycle of the sickness leading to bronchitis. This time I was determined to take my own medicine. Every morning and night I added a tablespoon of these into a cup with lemon and good quality honey. I can say honestly it has helped me so much, My chest is nearly clear, no antibiotics needed. If this feels like you I have a (cold/winter) special. 2 bottles for $35. All organic, slow brewed and perfect for keeping you well in the colder months. Packed with immune boosting goodies they are both strong anti viral, anti bacterial tonics infused in apple cider vinegar and made to ward off the common cold and influenza. Both will last in the fridge a good six months. Plant medicine, stronger than you think.

It’s that time again so I thought I’d reshare for those who don’t know. I know your tempted, it’s flowering everywhere right now... and looks so gorgeous
GARRON ( Wattle) season
is upon us. But if you believe in a little magic then you must listen to my Elders and my late Auntie Lennah a senior Bunurong Elder, she told us that we were never to bring GARRON into the house. It was to be hung on the door, outside the house, where it would keep the bad spirits away. If you bought it inside then you would get bad luck. The GARRON is a very important plant to Bunurong people, not only for food and medicine but also for bush dye, wood and a thousand other things.I tell many stories of this tree but today I wanted to share this tiny part of its story. For those that love the language. GARRON is a Kulin word and means Wattle in general. GARRONG is Black Wattle (Acacia Mearnsii) In Bunurong
-MURYAN:Silver Wattle( Acacia Dealbata) WARRA’WOORAP:Green
Wattle(Acacia
Decurrens) BURNA’LOOK:Blackwood (A cacai Melanoxylon)Enjoy the sunshine it brings right now as GARRON tells us the season is turning, soon it will be PAREIP(Spring)
