The environment of the Northern Territory cycles through what the Larrakia people distinguish as seven seasons. However, a part of the year is dominated by water during a ‘Wet’ season and April to November is dominated by sunny ‘Dry’ days.
Join MAGNT Curator Emeritus of Molluscs, Dr Richard Willan, to explore seasonality in the Top End in one of MAGNT’s best-loved permanent galleries, the Natural History Gallery.
