[@dani83red]

Wow! Those are the most beautiful waterfalls I have ever seen

[@nigelandsueadventures]

Yeah it was really special to see them flowing so well

[@peterbrockman161]

Another super video Sue & Nigel. Loved it.... Thanks so much. 👍

[@nigelandsueadventures]

Thanks so much Peter 👍👍

[@elainemcintyre4407]

Wow! Falls in flood, & a real didgeridoo! I loved Nigel making fire,such a terrific video. Thank you for doing these tours for us, I totally enjoyed them all. Elaine from Brisbane.

[@nigelandsueadventures]

Thanks Elaine!! It was so exciting when Nigel made the fire! We were buzzing for the whole rest of the day

[@LynneCarey]

Awesome video. Some amazing waterfalls and scenery plus some very nice places to stay by the looks. 😊

[@nigelandsueadventures]

Thanks Lynne, we had a beautiful time up there

[@josialive7419]

Thank you so much for showing and comparing videos from different times of the year. My husband and I are planning a trip to the NT atm and this helped us tons! 😊😊

[@nigelandsueadventures]

You’re welcome! We have a load of travel guides on our website about the NT that should help you with your planning. nigelandsueadventures.com/northern-territory/

[@davidfrew1518]

Well, Sue, you've got almost the perfect man, haven't you? He can cook, fix things, drive, pilot, is an expert diver, can make fire and is even a hunter gatherer. His only failing is that he's not an aussie. 😂😂 I loved the video, thanks again.

[@nigelandsueadventures]

Technically he’s about 3/4 Australian. Mother was Australian, and his fathers father… anyway, he’s perfect for me 🧡🧡

[@deeoh3708]

Looove the helicopter flight! Watched it over and over.. :)

[@nigelandsueadventures]

Haha I’ve done the same. Nigel got really emotional when I showed him this edited footage.

[@travelswithforrestflo1239]

The helicopter flight was amazing! 🤩

[@nigelandsueadventures]

One of the highlights of our trip for sure! We hope everyone has the chance to do it.

[@julieannhawley2955]

Hi from cold blustery Melbourne. Love your videos - and this one… what an amazing helicopter flight!!!! I’m so jealous!!! You’re both living such an amazing, adventurous life.

[@nigelandsueadventures]

Hi Julieann, thanks so much for watching and commenting. That heli flight was one of the highlights of our trip definitely!

[@robertacasey5204]

What a great trip but omg the helicopter flight was incredible 😮

[@nigelandsueadventures]

Honestly one of the best things we’ve ever done

[@DavidandRosemaryCarrel]

That Helicopter flight was spectacular through the gorge, which company and tour did you take?

[@lesleycameron9132]

Just rewatched this as literally got back a few days ago from the top end. So amazing to see the difference in water levels in such a short time …terrific adventure up there - beautiful

[@nigelandsueadventures]

Has it dropped down a lot? It’s such an amazing part of the country isn’t it?

[@lesleycameron9132]

@@nigelandsueadventures definitely - especially on the Yellow River, a lot lower than when you were there.

[@nigelandsueadventures]

Did you see much wild life there? We were disappointed not to see any crocs. We did see heaps of birds though

[@lesleycameron9132]

@@nigelandsueadventures we were lucky to see two crocs…plus all the birds and gorgeous water lilies. Was a good trip for sure

[@Storm333-h6n]

Another top video 🫠Brought a tear to my eye watching Nigel make fire 🖤💛♥️

[@nigelandsueadventures]

He did so well! Thanks for watching, and glad you enjoyed it.

[@geoffotaylor2276]

You guys haven't changed at all since I last saw you. You're living the life that the most of us only dream of. I've been talking about selling everything and travelling through Europe again for the next 20 years. Enjoy yourselves I hope that you have many more adventures and look forward to seeing the videos.

[@nigelandsueadventures]

Geoffo!! It’s been a long time. We definitely don’t bounce back the next day like we used to! You should do it! We are planning to come to Europe to travel for a couple of years once we finish this lap of Oz. We look forward to catching up with you. 🧡🧡

[@thealmostgreynomad5506]

What a fabulous trip ❤

[@nigelandsueadventures]

Thanks Sally! We loved it. So different in the summer green season!

[@juliekirby3958]

Another great vid!

[@nigelandsueadventures]

Cheers Julie! It’s such a beautiful region. We love the NT!!

[@carladalton6220]

Loved seeing all these wonderful places. Makes us want to go back! The line paintings were great. Very different from the dot style. Well done with the fire and the spear Nigel (dive 7/10) ;-) Hubby was watching while you were doing the helicopter flight and said we'll definitely be doing that! What was the name of the arts centre with the beautiful murals painted on the outside (that you weren't allowed to film in)? Something like Mirrawudi? I was hoping to find it and tag it on Wikicamps...

[@nigelandsueadventures]

Hi Carla, it’s the Marrawurdi Art Gallery. Hope you enjoy!

[@nicholasmclaurin1694]

Great video as always!

[@nigelandsueadventures]

Thanks Nick… see you soon!!

[@Lee-astrololee]

Some truly spectacular places to visit in the NT, never realised how much was on offer. Thank you Nigel and Sue for highlighting the difference between the wet and dry seasons, both as interesting as each other as both seasons give you a vast viewing perspective. I'm not one to cope with humidity and would most likely go in the dry season but would kick myself for not seeing all that water! 😅

[@nigelandsueadventures]

It’s honestly worth the slight discomfort to view the waterfalls at their most spectacular!

[@ShaeEstella]

Umm am I the only one that noticed a Nigel Moon? lol!

[@ShaeEstella]

#cameramalfunction

[@nigelandsueadventures]

Haha… no I think you’re just the only one who mentioned it

[@scottjohnson5687]

Oh that's a really nice place is it around 500-700 a week or the pricing simular to the city Aus isn't governed really well why don't they collect and bottle all that fresh waterfall water I thought Youse owned your mobilehome so just renting them, Thanks I need to watch this ispreration when getting out of this ... City

[@nigelandsueadventures]

Hey Scott, I’m not sure what you’re asking about, the 500/700 a week? Yes we do own our van, this trip to the NT was a trip we did with Tourism NT, so we flew up there and had a hire car. With the waterfalls, they only flow like that for a couple of months a year, and then some dry up completely!
