🌧️ Long before calendars, Kakadu had seasons of its own.
The Bininj/Mungguy people have read this Country for tens of thousands of years - not in two seasons, but in six. Each one named. Each one known. Each one carrying a different kind of beauty.

🪃 Kudjewk brings the monsoon rains and roaring waterfalls.
🪃 Bangkerreng arrives with winds that flatten the spear grass.
🪃 Yekke signals the first cool days and the Taste of Kakadu festival.
🪃 Wurrkeng opens the gorges and the remote tracks.
🪃 Kurrung fills the billabongs with birds.
🪃 And Kunumeleng - the build-up - is a time to reflect, and to watch the sky gather for what comes next.

Six seasons. One extraordinary place.

☁️ There's a reason the wet season is the best time to fly over Kakadu.
Everything is alive. The waterfalls are roaring, the escarpment is lush, and Jim Jim Falls is doing what it does best - taking your breath away.

@kakaduair Wet Season Waterfalls Flight takes you deep into country that very few people ever experience: Deaf Adder Valley, hidden waterfalls, Stone Forests, and places that carry thousands of years of story.

Available December to 1 May. This one is worth planning around.
