June to August may be the coldest months of the year for most Australians, but for those in the Top End – which includes Darwin, Katherine, Kakadu, and Arnhem Land – it's a season of blue skies and 30-degree days.
This excerpt from a 1960 production by the Commonwealth Film Unit showcases the ways of life and points of interest for tourists in northern Australia during the dry season. It includes the vast abundance of birds, plants and animals that can be found in the Top End and how best to see them.
It’s a reminder that Australian environment offers unique experiences whatever the time of year.
