General

When is the Nannup Music Festival?
The Nannup Music Festival is held annually on the WA Labour Day Long Weekend (first weekend of March). It runs from Friday 5pm through to Monday 12pm.

Where is Nannup and how do I get there?
Please see info here.

What weather should I expect?
Usually nice and hot during the day and cooler in the evenings. Pack everything, from bathers to warm sleeping bags and extra blankets.

Nyoongar Calendar: Bunuru (Feb – Mar), Second summer, Season of the adolescence

“Bunuru is the hottest time of the year with little to no rain. Hot easterly winds continue with a cooling sea breeze most afternoons if you’re close to the coast. Therefore, traditionally this was, and still is, a great time for living and fishing by the coast, rivers and estuaries. Because of this, freshwater foods and seafood made up major parts of the diet during this time of year.

Bunuru is also a time of the white flowers with lots of white flowering gums in full bloom, including Jarrah, Marri and Ghost Gums.

Another striking flower that is hard to go past is the female Zamia (Macrozamia riedlei). Being much larger than that of its male counterpart, the huge cones emerge from the centre of the plant with masses of a cotton wool like substance.

As the hot, dry weather continues the seed upon the cones change from green to bright red, indicating they’re ripening and becoming more attractive to animals, particularly the emu, that will eat the toxic fleshy outer.”
