Cool Becoming Warm presented by BackStage Music

Cool Becoming Warm is the characteristic of the Dharawal season Ngoonungi. During Ngoonungi the Dharawal people of coastal Sydney begin preparations for ceremony. The blooming of the red Waratah heralds this important time. So too does the coming of the flying foxes. During Ngoonungi colonies of bats fill the Dharawal sky, flying from the north and west to their feeding grounds in the south. Big Noters NSW First Nations Musicians will celebrate Ngoonungi with a night of ceremony: a gathering of soaring music, storytelling and cultural knowledges designed to herald the coming of bats and the opening of Waratahs. Join Big Noters for Cool Becoming Warm, a celebration of the Dharawal season of Ngoonungi.
