Bunuru is the hottest part of the year that usually runs from February to March. The season is known as the season of adolescence, or the second summer. ☀️ The Nyoongar/Noongar people used to collect wattle seeds, Banksia flowers, and various roots for food. Bunuru is associated with the blooming of tree species such as Jarrah and Marri. Jarrah trees were used by the Nyoongar/Noongar people for tools while the Marri's resin was considered to be a medicine.
