Yekke Season (May to mid-June. 21°C – 33°C) is about to begin and is one of the 6 seasons of Kakadu.

This is a relatively cool time with less humidity. Early-morning mists hang low over the plains and the shallow wetlands and billabongs are carpeted with water lilies. Dry winds and flowering Darwin woollybutt tell local Aboriginal people that it’s time to start patch burning to ‘clean the Country’ and encourage new growth.

In Kakadu, park rangers and Traditional Owners work together using these cultural burning practices to protect land and Country. Kakadu’s Traditional Owners, the Bininj/Munguy, have used fire for generations as a management tool for practical and cultural reasons.

🐊 There is over 10,000 crocodiles living in Kakadu National Park. In local language, crocodiles are called kingas (pronounced ging-us).

Crocodiles 🐊 have vertical, slit-shaped pupils which become narrow in bright light and widen in darkness. This controls the amount of light that enters.

Crocodiles have sharp vision during the day time ☀️, but they also have their own built-in night vision 🌙

Crocodiles can even see underwater 🌊. Their eyes have a special third eyelid known as the nictitating membrane. These eyelids are clear and protect their eyes while underwater.
