Kudjewk – Monsoon season
December to March. 24°C – 34°C
Heavy rain on the roof, the sounds of water gurgling in the downpipes, the green tree frogs calling for a mate.
The sound of beer bottles being popped.

Bangkerreng – ‘Knock ‘em down’ storm season
April. 23°C – 34°C
Sounds of approaching storms, thunder, brief heavy rain rolling across the roofs of the houses as it gets nearer.
The sounds of beer bottles being popped

Yekke – Cooler (but still humid) season
May to mid-June. 21°C – 33°C
Orange Footed Scrub Fowl roost in trees outside my bedroom window, howling and chortling all night. Curlews wander up and down the street, calling each other with their mournful wail.
The sounds of beer bottles being popped

Wurrkeng – Cold weather season
Mid-June to mid-August. 17°C – 32°C
The sounds of unbaffelled Harleys accelerating up the street, the neighbour giving his partially restored F-150 a run. All the neighbourhood dogs going off as teams of criminal youths prowl the streets in the middle of the night.
The sounds of illegal fireworks being let off indescriminately all over City for weeks prior and post 'Territory Day'.
Police, Ambulance and Firetruck sirens wailing in the distance.
The sounds of beer bottles being popped.

Kurrung – Hot dry weather
Mid-August to mid-October. 23°C – 37°C
The sounds of 'Mango Madness', 'going troppo', 'silly season'. Yes, this is 'domestic violence season', so the sounds of screaming, things breaking, doors slamming etc emanating from the apartments across the road. The sounds of cars pulling up at all hours at the local 'meth' house ( same apartments ).
The sounds of beer bottles being popped.

Kunumeleng – Pre-monsoon storm season
Mid-October to late December. 24°C – 37°C
'Silly Season' really ramping up now as it becomes hotter and more humid. Even the gentle loving couple next door, 20 years married, are fighting and screaming, "go fuck yourself" ! Ambos and Cops sirens become more frequent in my street.
Some prick nearby is feeding the Sulphur Crested Cockatoos and the fuckers screach and scream for several hours every morning ( even louder than the meth heads over at the apartments )
Massive house rattling thunderstorms every other day and night, torrential rain on the roof, the green tree frog bloke ones calling for blokette ones to indulge in some horizontal folk dancing are actually deafening on a rainy evening. By 3.00am you wish they would shut the fuck up !
The sounds of multiple beer bottles being popped.

Fall: Leaves rustling in the breeze, hearing crunchy leaves as I walk through a trail (in a four season climate), here: nothing

Winter: The sound of falling snow hitting the ground, crunchy footsteps in deep snow, silence and peace (four season climate), here: wind rusting the trees outside after a cold frontal passage, during a cool, windy, sunny day

Spring: birds chirping, sound of distant thunder, hearing people "WTF? Why is it so cold in March?" (four season climate), here: nothing

Spring: bird songs, heavy rain

Fall: couldn't think of anything specific actually, but donar found it for me: crows, especially on a bleak overcast day in November

Spring - sounds of metsfan crying because it’s cloudy and chilly
Summer - sound of metsfan crying because it’s rainy and mild
Fall- sound of metsfan crying because winter is coming
Winter - sound of metsfan screeching like a bat and running around like a mentally insane person because it’s cold . Sound of depression
