You cannot visit Darwin or Kakadu in summer (it’s too hot and wet). Winter is the dry season up north. Humidity drops, temps sit at a glorious 31°C (88°F), and the waterfalls are still flowing. If you want tropical weather without melting, June–August is the only time to go.
You might get a stunning, moody, dramatic ocean view. Or you might get sideways rain and zero visibility. Winter is the stormiest season in the south. australia winter months
Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐ (4/5) – Highly underrated, but not for everyone. You cannot visit Darwin or Kakadu in summer
