world’s finest rock art and a variety of habitats,
including floodplains and savannah woodlands.

WEATHER
- The Wet Season
From
November to April, the monsoonal Wet brings temperatures
ranging from 33 degrees centigrade maximum to 24 degrees
centigrade minimum, high humidity during the day and
rain in the late afternoon and overnight.
At
this time of the year, flooding is common (particularly
in outlying areas) as are spectacular lightning displays
(as pictured) and cyclone warnings. The wetlands
come alive with wildlife and green is the dominant colour.
It is certainly a dramatic time of year and many locals
will tell you they prefer it. Towards March the rains
begin to subside for another year, plants begin to fruit
and winds start to knock down tall grasses and dry out
the land.
