Overview: It’s July in Kakadu: the aboriginal season of Wurrgeng. Locals call it the cold season, but for most visitors it’s blazing hot summer. Each year around 200,000 tourists flood into the park just when nature calls her wildest shots. Bushfires, snakebite, crocodile attacks and road smashes keep traditional owners, rangers and emergency services on call 24/7. More than any other time of the year, it’s life and death pressure for everyone in Kakadu.
