With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Slater's Dragon sighting in Kakadu National Park on a given day, based on 7 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 39th most-seen of the 54 reptiles we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 30%, and over a week to about 60%, if each day is a fresh chance.
June
In that month about 30% of wildlife watchers report a Slater's Dragon in Kakadu National Park on a given day, against under 5% in August and October–May, the lowest months. That is one of Kakadu National Park's driest months, with almost no rain against 350 mm in January.

Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Slater's Dragon sightings with a recorded time, and about 9 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
Only Kakadu National Park, in our data

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Slater's Dragon is recorded against all the reptiles logged in Kakadu National Park (7 verified sightings from 2019 to 2026), calibrated against known sighting rates. Figures are rounded to the nearest 10% because citizen-science data supports honest approximations, not decimals, and months with records from fewer than five people show "—". How it works.
