Yallingup Aboriginal Art is proudly presenting an exhibition showcasing our Bush Flowers & Foods artworks.
This exhibition will be complemented by a Wildflower Show to celebrate the season of Djilba and Kambarang.
The South West is alive with change as we enter the Noongar season of Djilba (August–September). Symbolised by pink, Djilba marks the first blossoms of wildflowers, signalling renewal and growth. Families traditionally moved towards the coast at this time, gathering to share in the bush foods that flourish — from root vegetables and tubers to berries and native greens.
As the seasons turn to Kambarang (October–November), represented by yellow, the bush bursts into full bloom. Golden acacias light the landscape, followed by the spectacular flowering of the Moodjar (Australian Christmas Tree). Warmer days, longer light, and bigger tides bring abundance, and with them, a rich time for harvesting bush foods and medicines.
For thousands of years, Wadandi and Noongar peoples have read these seasonal signs — knowing when to gather, when to rest, and how to care for Country. These rhythms of wildflowers and foods continue to guide life and inspire art across generations.
Yallingup Aboriginal Art’s exhibition is showcasing artwork from many regions throughout Australia where artists continue to share stories. Across all regions, bush foods and wildflowers are not just nourishment — they are part of ceremony, identity, and deep cultural knowledge. These works remind us that the land provides, sustains, and connects people everywhere.
Exhibition dates: Saturday 27 September – Sunday 12 October 2025.
