Bangkerreng Season: April — Things to Do in Kakadu

Known as the "knock ‘em down" season, Bangkerreng marks a short but striking transition. Powerful winds from the east (koyek) flatten the tall spear grass, making way for new growth. It's a time of renewal and anticipation for local communities. For visitors, Bangkerreng brings clearer skies and the beginning of easier access to some sites as water levels begin to recede. This is a peaceful time to witness the change of seasons and spot wildlife returning to open areas.

Things to Do: Bushwalks, cultural experiences, wildlife spotting, photography.
