Want a chance to reel in $1 million?

Keen fishers have a chance to bag serious cash during the Northern Territory’s Million Dollar Fish competitio­n, which is on until the end of February.

One hundred barramundi have been tagged with $10,000 prizes and one special barra is swimming around with a $1 million tag as part of the competitio­n.

Yellow Water Billabong is the centre of activity for Kakadu during the current “green season”.

The green season encompasse­s three Aboriginal seasons: Gungmeleng, the pre-monsoon period, Gudjewg (monsoon) and Bang Gereng, which usually arrives in March bringing a clear sky to the region.

With cruises operating throughout every day, it is also a great time to see Kakadu’s remarkable wildlife at different times.

The season offers experience­s for visitors as thundersto­rms build in the afternoons, dry land turns green, streams begin to run and the new breeding season starts.

Visitors can book a sunset cruise and then enjoy the sunrise cruise the following day for $36 a person, which also includes a full buffet breakfast at Cooinda Lodge.

Sealed roads make most of Kakadu’s prime attraction­s accessible throughout the green season.

Spectacula­r rock art can be viewed at Nourlangie, and hundreds of bird species along with crocodiles and other wildlife are active on the Yellow Water Billabong.
