The prospect of doing aeromedical retrievals across the Kimberley was another strong motivation to work here. My first retrieval did not disappoint. The pilot dodged plumes of stormclouds and shocks of lightning illuminated all corners of the cabin. Below us, rivers converged into huge deltas and canyons were filled in with jagged shadows. We covered a lot of land. The total distance was greater than a return flight between Sydney and Melbourne.
