Wet Season in the Top End
"From November to April is the Wet Season in the Northern Territory. moist monsoonal northwest winds bring high humidity and a rainfall which gives the wet season its name. Many areas in the Top End become isolated by the floods but you can still visit many areas. Visit http://www.travelnt.com/en/explore/kakadu/ for more ifnormation on Kakadu and the top end. " Kakadu National Park
Rent the movie Crocodile Dundee for a glimpse of the stunning scenery of this National Park. Bird watchers and those who wish to see rock art or crocodiles won't be disappointed.
World Heritage-listed Kakadu National Park is arguably Australia's most famous national park. Rugged escarp-ments, lush wetlands, plunging gorges and waterfalls exist side by side in an area the size of New Jersey.
It is Australia's largest national park, but it isn't just the size that astounds visitors - it is the sense of something very old and grand. Creation of the 500 km natural wonder began 2,000 million years ago when layers of sandstone built up a plateau to later be carved into an escarpment scoured by gorges. Today those gorges are brimming with rainforests washed by waterfalls.
Over thousands of years, Aboriginal people have left behind some extraordinary galleries of Aboriginal art, with rock sites dating back 25,000 years. More than 1,000 sites have been recorded.
One thousand species of flora, 30 mammals, 75 reptiles, 1500 butterflies and moths, 50 freshwater fish and 25 species of frog have been discovered in Kakadu. During the lush green season Kakadu's flora puts on its most brilliant face. Between December and March visitors will see plants respond to the monsoonal showers with riotous growth.
