The
Top End is a big place - bigger than Denmark or Ireland
- big enough to include three world-class National
Parks where wilderness is a reality, not just a word.
Each
of these parks offers a different landscape, different
bird life, wildlife, cultural and ecological history
- and its own unique feeling - its own Spirit of Place.
|
|
We
recognise the special relationship the Aborigines
have developed with this remarkable country over the
last 60,000 years.
Our
Tour Guides will show you where Aborigines recorded
dramatic ecological changes of the last 20,000 in
rock art. Through this ancient art form, you'll see
how the sea retreated, the climate changed and animal
species became extinct.
Our
guests travel in small parties, so you won't be just
another face in the crowd.

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.
