As the Noongar season of Djilba arrives, Pemberton experiences a period of transition—between the last chill of winter and the promise of warmer days ahead. This is the season of birth and renewal, and it’s marked by an explosion of wildflowers. Orchids, kangaroo paws, and wattle bloom across the forests and trails, making it an ideal time for exploring nature’s floral display.

One of the highlights of Djilba is the opportunity to witness the wildflower bloom across Pemberton and Northcliffe. The forests are teeming with colour, and a hike through Warren National Park or a drive along the Karri Forest Explorer Drive brings you close to the rich flora unique to this region. As you venture into the wilderness, keep an eye out for wildlife—kangaroos, emus, and birds—becoming more active as the days warm.

Perfect Weather for Nature Walks and Outdoor Adventures

Djilba’s alternating warm and cool days create the perfect conditions for bushwalking. Whether you’re following the trails along the Bibbulmun Track, exploring the Warren River Loop, or discovering the hidden beauty of Lake Jasper, this season invites you to enjoy the outdoors. For cyclists, the Pemberton Mountain Bike Park offers smooth rides with stunning views, making Djilba ideal for adventurers of all types.

A Taste of Spring

With the arrival of new life and the first buds of spring, Djilba is also a time to indulge in fresh produce. Avocados, greens, and early berries start to appear at local farmers’ markets, bringing a taste of the season’s bounty. Pair this produce with local wines for a picnic among the wildflowers, or take your meal to a nearby café for a relaxing afternoon.
