At altitude the Top End unspools beneath you: a patchwork of ochre escarpments, glassy wetlands and white-crested showers of falls that cut the earth. From the fixed-wing cabin the Magnetic Ant Hills look like curious punctuation marks; rivers dare you to follow their braided courses toward hidden plunge pools.
