Djilba is the fifth season in the Nyoongar Calendar. This is the season of growth, as the weather begins to warm up. Djilba season is a time to look for the yellow and cream flowers starting on mass. As the season progresses and the temperatures continue to rise, we’ll start to see the flower stalks of the balgas emerging in preparation for the coming Kambarang season.

The vivid beauty and life of Perth’s natural wonders are paired with small pieces of information found on the KURONGKURL KATITJIN page of the ECU website.

In celebration of Djilba, the City of Perth showcases two slow television presentations on its Urban Screens, immersing the inner city in the colours and landscapes of the season.

The sunset program take in Yallingup. Yallingup is situated in the South West Boojarah region in Noongar booja. The South West Boojarah region refers to the Wardandi and Bibulmun/Piblemen Noongar language or dialectical groups.

The slow TV genre, known for its contemplative pace, offers viewers an unedited, real-time experience of life’s rhythms, presenting a peaceful alternative to the fast-paced narratives of mainstream media. It encourages viewers to relax and immerse themselves in the season’s inherent beauty.

Djilba themed slow TV is featured daily at the City of Perth’s Northbridge Piazza Superscreen and Forrest Place’s Arts Screen, celebrating the essence of the season.
