Light rain sprinkles
Flying foxes gather in the darkened sky
Hovering and swirling near sunset
The Sydney sky is filled with dance
Setting of the night-time feeding grounds
Heading towards the south
Covering up to 30 km
In one single night
D’harawals' celebration
An important ceremonial time
The appearance of bright red splashes
Miwa Gawaian in bushlands
Warm weather
Drizzling showers
Flowers bloom big
Full of nectar
Restrictions lifted on saving food
Prawns, shellfish, yabbies, and lobster
A big feast to eat
On beaches and riverbanks
