It’s November and the wet season is upon us once again.
Gunumeleng, the build-up season with its high temperatures and rising humidity, spectacular displays of lightning and distant, rumbling thunder, tropical downpours and sprouting green has started right on time — and put a stop to our day tours to Jim Jim Falls and Twin Falls.
Monday, 07 November 2011 was the last date of operation for this tour.
Park rangers have since locked the gate at the Jim Jim Road turn-off.
Crocodile traps have been removed, boats and infrastructure have been taken out of the water over at Twin Falls as well. That’s it for another year, I guess…
During the wet season you can still see these spectacular places from the air. A number of operators offer scenic flights (by helicopter or in a fixed-wing aircraft) from Jabiru Airport.
You won’t see these little critters from the air.
The Rockhole frogs really are tiny! But they definitely will be there next year, when we return to the gorges of Jim Jim Falls and Twin Falls after completion of the annual mandatory crocodile surevys in the early dry season.

Steve and I would like to take the opportunity to thank everybody who has come on a trip with us these last few months.
We have met some awesome folks again this year, interesting people from all walks of life with a lot of good yarns to tell. Hope you enjoyed your day out there as much as we did!
We will still be available for our Kakadu Private Charters between now and April 2012. But for now I say
Boh boh!
