We anchored overnight in Swift Bay in Prince Frederick Harbour. It was a short Zodiac trip with a wet landing to the beach on Naturaliste Island which the helicopters used as a helipad. We were then taken on the 20 minute flight in groups of 4 up to the Mitchell Plateau to the shade of the shelter near the first viewpoint of the Mitchell Falls.
