Straddling the East Alligator River, Cahills Crossing is notorious and one of Australia's best-known crocodile spotting sites. Separating Kakadu National Park from Arnhem Land and the Cobourg Peninsula, this section of the river can go from a sleepy muddy stream to a torrent of water in a moment. Crossing it in a vehicle can be dangerous; however, with a bit of careful planning and common sense, the risks are minimal.

Travelling to the Top End during the Wet Season is a unique adventure. Characterised by hot, humid days, the afternoon usually delivers a cracking storm. The city adopts a slower, laid-back pace, and locals enjoy the balmy temperatures outdoors with spectacular sunsets. Expect very few indoor activities, though! This season offers a window of nature that locals and the adventurous favour: abundant wildlife, powerful waterfalls, full rivers, refreshing rains and a lush green landscape.

May officially starts the 'dry season' in the Top End. The temperatures are cooler, and the humidity drops. Rain becomes less frequent, and rivers start to recede. Warm days and cool evenings bring misty mornings on lily-covered billabongs. This time of year is known as "Yekke." For the local Binnij/Mungguy people, it's not the calendar but mother nature that dictates this change of season. Subtle changes in the environment, such as the bright orange flowers of the Darwin Woolybutt in bloom and dry winds, signal the dry season is here! This month also marks the start of Venture Norths award winning small group 4WD tours!
