 Agree, great series. But even that only scratches the surface of what its like to be there and watch the seasons change.

Dave R if you want a good book on the  6 seasons get the one by Ian Morris called Kakadu.He is the guy in the series walking around in bare feet.
Cant wait to get back there one day and show the kids what its like.

I have been there 4 times - the first time in 1972 when only a proposed NP and when working for the mining industry (yes uranium explorers) and came back and said you guys have a problem. "You had better support and understand environmental impact assessments. Then in 1977 when I moved to the NT and was Paul Everingham's first press secretary. Then when I worked for the Civil Aviation Authority and launched a safety video in Darwin and took my wife out to Kakadu - and finally when I did a job for the then Commonwealth Environment Protection Agency on cleaner production in Darwin and took the opportunity to visit again.

I love it - will be going back next year with the camper the long way.

I know it so well.

He is someone different alright, incredible dedication to the job by so many of the staff featured on the program, look how long they have been there for....
My point was more along the lines of explaining it for the Folk OS who will be seeing it. We have family in Europe, and will soon be told about this show as they watch it.
