Witness Electric storms during March and April at Bamurru Plains

If you like to pretend you’re in a National Geographic magazine with spectacular cloud formations and electric thunderstorms, a rainbow of sunsets and the cycle of rebirth in full swing then you’ll love the magic of the Top End at this time of year.
 
Traditional Owners of nearby Kakadu recognise six different seasons with March being the end of Kudjewk (Monsoon season) and Banggerreng (Knock ’em down) starting around April. At Bamurru Plains, it’s called The Green Season, or the Run-Off, as the waters of the tropical monsoon recede. It’s a terrific time – still quite steamy and humid but the visual spectacular that nature puts on is a photographer’s dream.

It’s a fantastic time of year for photographers as well as birders, with the last chance to see migrating waders and shorebirds before they leave for Siberia to breed. Plus it’s great for fishing. What To Do When – the lodge can organise off-site heli or river fishing (at additional cost).
 
Get in quick for The Green Season from March 1 to April 30th and be one of the first to discover the magic of this time of year. Bamurru used to operate purely as a fishing lodge during the Run Off but due to demand, the season has been extended as a luxury lodge.
