In traditional times, spring—September and October—was a season of abundance. Lilies, orchids, and Murnong (Yam Daisy) blossomed, offering both beauty and sustenance. The landscape was alive with vibrant blooms like wattles, hop goodenia, burgan, and kangaroo apple. Tuberous orchids and small lilies emerged after winter, while wildlife thrived: snakes and lizards became active, young kangaroos ventured from their pouches, and migratory birds like the Sacred Kingfisher returned. Rivers, fed by melting mountain snows, flooded the plains, rejuvenating the billabongs—flooding that is now largely controlled. Falling in Guling Season, the exhibition celebrates the transition towards change and the anticipation of new growth to come.
