We won a free 1 hour scenic flight on Kakadu Air so we took it last Saturday. In December of 2004 we took a helicopter flight over the park but the wet had not started in earnest at that point so the land was pretty dead and burnt out. This trip was in the middle of the wet and there are unbelievable amounts of water out there. Not only were Jim Jim Falls and Twin Falls flowing like Niagra, there were at least a half dozen smaller falls at various places on the escarpment. This flight was on a fixed wing plane so we covered a lot more country and so much of it was flood plain, just unbelievable. Here is a photo collage of the trip. My own camera just died right after the flight began, I couldn't believe it, so the pics at the end are not mine.
