JANUARY - MARCH
The monsoon time with heavy rains brings kudjarr (flooding and flowing water) and kunmayorrk (strong winds)
APRIL
Nakurl (knock 'em down storms) coming from koyek (the east) flattens Manbedje yirridjdja (the early spear grass). Manbedje duwa (the later spear grass) is now green and growing until barra (the later rains)
MAY - JUNE
The rains have finished. The cooler temperature and the wind blowing from North-East to West signals the start of the dry time.
JULY - AUGUST
Kunbonjdjek, the cool weather time, when dry winds blow from the East, koyek kunmayorrk, and kabokolung, the water level starts dropping.
SEPTEMBER - OCTOBER
The hot, dry time where the air is fragrant from many plants flowering, like Manboyberre (Syzgium forte) and Mandjarduk (Syzgium suborbiculare). These plants will go on to fruit in Kunumeleng.
NOVEMBER - DECEMBER
The time of kangolmarnburren, when the humidity builds, kunngol (clouds) and kunmayorrk (wind) gather together from all directions. The first rains and storms are a time to think of loved ones and to think about new things for the coming year.
