Read more about Kudjewk Season: Wonders of the Wet!

Welcome to the monsoon season—January to March, known to locals as Kudjewk! Explore the sites open now and the tours running throughout the wet season!

We're in Yekke season, May to June, and it's a beautiful moment in the park's calendar. The wet season rains have cleared, the air is cooler, and the landscape is lush and green after all that water. The Bininj/Mungguy people know this as the time of "big mob dragonflies," and if you've ever done a Yellow Water Cruise during Yekke, you'll know exactly what they mean.

Whether you're after a guided river cruise, a cultural centre visit, rock art walks, fishing, scenic flights, or simply the experience of waking up in one of the world's great wilderness areas, Yekke season awaits you.
