Of the six seasons identified by the Indigenous Australians of the Northern Territory, Gurrung (August through October) is considered the finest: It's hot but not too humid, dry but not parched. It's also the right time to explore three of Australia's most spectacular National Parks-Kakadu Litchfield, and Nitmiluk by going on a muliday walkabout (this is Australian for hike) amoung the parks' sandstone bluffs, tidal estuaries, and shaded billabongs. Indigenous people have lived in the area for 45,000 years, and at Manyallaluk village, elders instruct guests in spear throwing and basket weaving. Nitmiluk, packed with hidden waterfalls and lush valley rain forests, is called "the Dreaming Place" in the local tongue. If you travel here you will see why.
