Local tip!
Don't overlook a trip to Kakadu in the wet season. Although some swimming spots are closed, there's still lots to see and do:
- Flying over the waterfalls during the wet is spectacular because of the large amounts of water flowing
- Motor Car Falls is only open in the wet season - walk along the Yurmikmik Trail to reach this gem
- The drive from Darwin to Kakadu during the wet offers a different landscape to the dry - the vibrant green stands out, especially against the rolling monsoonal clouds
- The wet is the best time to see animals - dingoes, birds, and wallabies are more active during the rainy season
