"Kaya Bunuru. The Second Summer of the Nyoongar calendar is in full swing. While it’s typically the hottest time of year, we’re in for a fairly mild week in the southwest of our State with warm temps and cool sea breezes near the coast. Keep an eye out for white flowers during this season, with lots of white flowering gums in full bloom, such as our jarrah, marri and ghost gums.
While our northwest remains in full wet season mode (Wunju in the Wunambal Gaambera calendar, Man-Gala on Yawuru Country and Nyinggiyi-mageny near Kununurra on Miriwoong land), it seems the heavy rains are done for a little while, with only a few showers forecast for the Kimberley and Pilbara this week"

For tens of thousands of years they have lived, worked and played and cared for the land of South West Australia.

They have been very kind to share their and their culture with me and I deeply appreciate that.

Likewise my respect goes out to the Elders of First Nations everywhere.

Kaya koorda,

On the 26th, which is not a date to celebrate, people in and out of Australia might like to look at and listen to the wonderful languages that resonate in the lands of Australia.

Don't know where to look?
You can find out and listen to them here, with speakers recording the 50 words project here:

50words.online/

More information's available at gambay.com.au/


If there are any other Nyoongar speakers here or other first languages speakers it might be nice to exchange some conversation.

What happened to the word "Dardy"? Used to be very common amongst students, but hardly hear it any more.
Was it a Noongar word? Or just a teen word?
Also, is Noongar preferred, or , or something else?

GOOD HOO-MAN FOOD

A snippet from my Space Opera timeline that I'm working on. I wanted to share it here but because of character limits, I had to do it through screenshots. Hope whoever reads it enjoys it. 😊

Holy crap! Can't believe there's one day left to my challenge. The time has flown by! 😮

Nyoongar word of the day

DJOOMBA: Hair

BORN: To cut

Is my DJOOMBA too long? I'm looking like Cousin Itt out here. 😂 I should get it BORN, maybe not a full BORN though, more a trim.

Day 93 (I missed yesterday) and 94 of 100 Day Challenge

Nyoongar word of the day

DOOKERNINY, present tense of Dookern: Cooking

KAALANG: Hot

Recently I've been a little lazy and sad sack, eating lots of junk food or instant shit. It felt good to actually do some home DOOKERNINY and treat myself to a proper KAALANG meal

Nyoongar word of the day

BENANG: Tomorrow

I have the very bad lazy habit of leaving things that should be done yeyi (now), kedala (today) for BENANG. It's something I try to fix in myself. On the other hand, one must also be able to see BENANG positively, a potential fresh start. A chance to make things better. 😊

WOONANGA: Peaceful

I've been able to sort out my financial situation for the foreseeable future, I feel far less anxiety and pressure. I feel WOONANGA for the first time in weeks, maybe months.

Nyoongar word of the day

MOYIRAN: Old man/Grandfather

One of the biggest regrets in my life was not getting to know my MOYIRAN, A Gong as I called him in Teochew, a lot more while he was still alive. Now all I have left are his photos, his books and his writings. I guess that will have to be enough.

BARN: Walk

Everyday, I try to go for a BARN with Dad and Lucky, our dwert 🐺. There's a lovely bit of bushland that's just 2 min away from a house that we'll go to often.
