Was delighted to discover the beautiful murals by super talented multi-disciplinary Perth artist Melski McVee scattered along Murray Street and Forrest Place when we were in the city last week.. I may have missed a few. The murals celebrate the Nyoongar people's winter season. The Nyoongar weather calendar is made up of six seasons as compared to our four. Summer is split into first summer and second summer.. spring into first and second spring, I will think of them this way forever more now. Happy Monday, take care and stay safe..
...it's neat to see all of these exotic animals, well they are exotic for me!
ReplyDeleteAustralia is on a different world with an amazing array of species that can only be found on your island continent! Your country is truly rich not just in its economy but also in natural resources and colorful culture! These murals you shared with us would look perfect as postage stamps Grace! Love the colors and the art!

I like the thought of six seasons. The depictions of all the native animals is wonderful. I think my favorites are the kuka and the black swans.
ReplyDeleteWe don't see any of those native animals unless it's in a zoo. They are a pleasure to see. The black swans are my favorite along with the kangaroo. Have a wonderful day, Grace.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great exhibition! You can always learn something from any culture ... so with these Noongar people. I think it would be great to have 6 seasons!
ReplyDeleteHave a nice week ahead, Grace! 🤗
It really does feel like there are at least 6 seasons. It is 21˚C here today which feels like summer and then tomorrow we go back to the cool weather with even a chance of frost during the week.
ReplyDeleteVery nice mural. Learn something new all the time. It must be nice to live in a city with so many neat murals. I've only seen one or two here, and in all the cities I've visited in the USA seldom ever a mural.
ReplyDeleteI see your blog daily, it is crispy to study.Your blog is very useful for me & i like so much...Thanks for sharing the good information! mega casino
ReplyDeleteAwww. That is fun.

ReplyDeleteI've seen variations of the Aboriginal season calendars as of course the weather is different all over our county. Our own season calendars seem a bit out of whack at times.
ReplyDeleteI just can't picture Australia being cold. See comparing it to Northern Idaho
ReplyDeleteThat makes sense, although we might mark the divisions differently. We could throw in violent thunderstorm and tornado season and maybe go out into the heat at your peril season.
ReplyDeleteLoved the post
ReplyDeleteSuch beautiful animal pairs celebrating the seasons.
ReplyDeleteI love the swan couple, so cute. Thanks for participating Grace.
I haven't been out mural searching for ages, but still have unposted murals for maybe another 8 weeks :)
Beautiful that classification of the year with some extra seasons and why not.
ReplyDeleteWhat a pretty ones, interesting to believe in first and second seasons.
ReplyDeleteA beautiful - and clever one, too, Grace. I assume they hate winter also ;-)
ReplyDeleteThe emus are my favorite of course, just got one on my jeans! From Wendy, certainly.
That's very appealing, to see all the extraordinary native animals.
ReplyDeletebe well... mae at maefood.blogspot.com
Your new header picture is lovely!
ReplyDeleteGrace, Thank you for your recent comments. If you were thinking about Little House on the Prairie, you were not far off. Laura Ingalls Wilder lived about 50 miles west of where that little school house is located. Hope you have a great week. Stay safe.
ReplyDeleteWhat incredible murals. So well done and all so beautiful. Of course, my favorite are the black swans, since they are only found here (in the states) in zoos.
ReplyDeleteIt is interesting that in a climate that is more subtle than the northern hemisphere there are more seasons.
