The Atlas Almanac
What is in season across Australia this month — produce, wildlife, landscape and the working year. Every window below is a recurring annual one, taken from the body that manages or measures it, and reviewed before it appeared here.
Fruit that bruises if you look at it, picked straight into the punnet it will sell in.
The long pick: bin after bin, variety after variety, running for months rather than weeks.
The largest fish in the ocean, in to feed, and near enough to swim beside.
Roads close, the waterfalls run, and the country does the thing it spends the rest of the year waiting for.
In season in Broome & Kimberley, Cairns & Tropical North, Darwin & Top End and Katherine & Surrounds. No Atlas listing there answers this one yet.
Cellar doors run right through the crush — presses going, the yard full of bins, and the people who made it too busy to talk for long.
Seasons move. A window here is the ordinary year for a region, not a forecast, and a cold spring or a wet autumn will shift it by weeks. Check with the place before you drive. Place counts are the Atlas listings whose location resolves to that region.
