After visiting the Visitor Centre in Kakadu, we decided to camp near the spectacular Jim Jim Falls that evening. "Near" smart andromax in this case means 30min gehobbeld offroad driving. The last bit of road to Jim Jim Falls was rough and intended for 4WD. Ultimately, we are only at the start of the walk. Arrived in the late afternoon We decided to just squeak into the information board at the starting point, and then return to the camp and afterwards only to walk the path. Towards Jim Jim Falls day back with the car The path ran because right next to the river. And means water crocodiles, whose eyes at night bright red light ... No tourist attraction so in the dark.
Check in at the information board. We take our our camera out of the car, when we suddenly see waving an old man. Violent His name is Burt. He was completely confused, and we understand at first little of his story, terzijl he gasps for breath. smart andromax We try to calm him and soon understand that his wife has been on the way to Jim Jim Falls due to the heat and the effort a heart attack. At that moment you drop everything and you try to offer. Asap help It is already 17.15 and we are the only tourists in the area. Ce grabs some water and quick food together and go up the path with Burt towards his wife Babs. Personally, I stay on the bulletin board and I communicate via the ECD (Emergency Call Point) with the ranger on duty, Olly.
Olly will soon contact the emergency smart andromax services in the neighborhood. It communicates with the other rangers in the area. We are only 1.5 hours drive from a paved road, 2 hours drive from the nearest town and hours away from the hospital in Darwin. Olly announces that a helicopter from Yabura will arrive around 18:30. They bring a doctor and a nurse with it and a lot of medical equipment.
Around 17h35 arrive at the parking lot suddenly a car with two men and a medical kit. They are tour guides on the radio have heard the call and came out to Jim Jim immediately. I get a radio pressed into my hands, for they go up the path towards Babs, Burt and CE. So far I have received no news of what the situation is.'s Wife Olly and I still do not know whether Babs or not (yet) been conscious. smart andromax
Until I receive a first signal from them by radio from the tour guides. They let you know that Babs is conscious, smart andromax but severe pain in the chest has. She appears on a 30-minute stroll from the car park to be located. Half an hour later I see in the distance Ce return along the path. There is demand for more water. And flashlights. Indeed, it is almost 18:30 and dusk is introduced.
It is 18:30. Exactly as initially estimated the helicopter arrives Yabura. However, there is no suitable landing where Babs is located. The medical team can not spot when Babs dropped. Through the radio back and communicated back and eventually energy and balance to land on the parking itself. Helicopter (with the medical team) All material needs to be worn over the rocks until at Babs. With CE as Sherpa (guide and mule) they come 30 minutes later by Babs on. A second helicopter is also called upon to evacuate the hospital in Darwin, then later Babs as this from Yabura is too small.
Recapitulate. On the parking gathers more and more people and attracts some direction Babs. Around 19h eventually located at Babs 7 people: her husband Burt, CE, two tour guides, smart andromax the helicopter pilot, one doctor and one nurse. Meanwhile, the situation of Babs stabilized. But there is also bad news. The evacuation helicopter can not land in the parking lot. Too many trees around. It is also not possible using a winch to hoist up, Babs the helicopter would cause too much dust. Babs must first be worn over the rocks out of the forest, and then 2 hours in the ambulance driven to Yabura before they can be brought to Darwin. By helicopter The ambulance is now also paid on location. The doctor takes the lead and coordinates the group when they wear Babs back along the path. No easy feat, considering Babs itself can be difficult to move and to be moved on a stretcher path over the rough rocks along the riverbed runs, crocodiles lie in wait, and most of all ... it's pitch black!
At the car park itself I keep the radio and communications watch, along with a number smart andromax of rangers from the neighborhood. smart andromax After half an hour we again get a call over the radio that more help is needed for carrying the stretcher and the supply of water and flashlights. Lionel, the ranger at the nearby Twin Falls and pull myself towards the path. It's quite frightening in the pitch dark, and when they hear strange noises
