Fitzroy Valley [-O-] | Many Lands - Many Seasons | EP 2 | ABC Australia

You may have heard of Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter. But did you know that Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples have their own names and times for the seasons? This knowledge is unique to each language group and their environment and has been passed down through the generations for over 65,000 years. This series explores six Aboriginal seasonal calendars to find out how the unique knowledge they contain helps the traditional owners to hunt, fish and collect bush tucker at the best time!

Wow what an education for young people. They will carry this through all their life and know how to survive on country by reading seasons and knowing what to expect. I wish I had something like this as a child. Great story ABC.
