We did a secret
shoppers report on Gagudju Lodge Cooinda on
Sept8 & 9, 2007 and I muts say for a local
lodge it was really excellent. I can't say anything
negative about the service and I must say the
cleaners and Bistro staff earned the top marks.
But the most outstanding service came with the
3 different Gagudju Dreamoing Guides we had
to Yellow Waters and Jim Jim.

that the park's longtime aboriginal inhabitants have
divided the year into six distinct seasons.
• Kakadu

Gunumeleng, from mid-October to late December, may in
fact last from a few weeks to several months.
• Kakadu
Seasons - Gudjewg - Monsoon Season - Gudjewg, from
January to March, can be described as the 'true' wet
season.
• Kakadu
Seasons - Banggereng - Knock 'em down storm Season
- Banggerreng, in April, is the season when the rain
clouds have dispersed and clear skies prevail.
• Kakadu
Seasons - Yegge - Cooler but still humid Season
- Yegge, from May to mid-June, is relatively cool with
low humidity.
• Kakadu
Seasons - Wurrgeng - Cold Weather Season - Wurrgeng,
from mid-June to mid-August, is the 'cold weather' time;
humidity is low, daytime temperatures are around 30°C
and night-time temperatures are around 17°C.
