November 2003

November is Dhuludur',
the pre-wet season build up in the Yolngu language. During
this season it is hot and humid, thunder rumbles in the distance,
and storm clouds threaten. Some early rain falls but this
is soaked up by the dry ground. Magpie geese are still hunted
as are long-neck turtles, nyangura, in the dried up swamp
country. Bush fruits such as munydjutj, dangapa and
narrani ripen in the eucalypt forests. People get cranky
because of the heat and humidity.
