Darwin's Wet Season and Moving Day Timing

Darwin's wet season (November-April) makes outdoor moving extremely difficult, daily afternoon thunderstorms with 200mm+ monthly rainfall. Schedule Darwin moves in the dry season (May-October) for safest and most efficient moves. Darwin's large defence force (Robertson Barracks at Palmerston), government, and mining sector workforce creates constant ADF-funded relocation demand. Darwin's remoteness means interstate move transit times of 7-14 days for road freight. worksafe.nt.gov.au
