  Swim only where it is checked

  Saltwater crocodiles move all over the park with the water, and rangers survey and clear the few plunge pools that open each dry. Everywhere else is closed to swimming, permanently and for good reason. Kaynak ↗

Kalabalık — Dry season

• Sezon

  Dry season

  1 May – 31 EkiKalabalık

  From May the floodplains drop, the unsealed roads dry out and the park opens up properly. Bininj count six seasons here, not two, and this covers three of them.

• Kural

  Park pass, dry-season price

  15 May – 31 Eki

  Everyone needs a pass and it costs more in the dry than in the wet (an adult pass is $40 in the dry, $25 in the wet). Buy it online before you drive in; the ranger stations are a long way apart and there is no boom gate to sell you one. Kaynak ↗

  Birds crowd the last billabongs

  1 Ağu – 31 Eki · geneldeKuş gözlem sezonu

  As the floodplain shrinks, magpie geese, jabiru and whistling ducks pack onto what water is left. The late dry is when the Yellow Water cruise is at its best and the heat at its worst.

  Mahbilil Festival

  20 Ağu – 10 Eyl · geneldeBüyük festival

  A one-day festival on the lake at Jabiru at the end of the dry: music, weaving, bush foods, spear throwing and a magpie-goose plucking competition, run by and for the local communities. Kaynak ↗

  The build-up

  1 Eki – 15 Ara · geneldeAşırı sıcak

  Locals call October to December the build-up: still, heavy air and thunderheads that stack up for weeks before they deliver. Tours wind down, tempers fray, and the lightning is the show.

Sakin — hava açısından en kötü aylarından biri

• Kapanış

  Southern roads and falls close

  1 Kas – 31 May · genelde

  The four-wheel-drive tracks to the big falls and most of the unsealed south shut with the first rains and reopen only once the crossings drop, which is often well into the dry. Kaynak ↗

• Risk

  Cyclone season

  1 Kas – 30 Nis

  Systems crossing the Top End coast bring days of torrential rain and wind rather than a direct blow. The highways in from Darwin can be cut for days, and Jabiru is where you wait it out. Kaynak ↗
