It is wet season in the Gulf of Carpentaria, Northern Territory Australia. Two young travellers have been trapped for 26 hours on the top of their campervan as a rising river and crocodiles threaten to take them under. The authorities are some 900km away. An Emergency Response Team from the mine is closer. Can the ERT reach them in time…and if they do…how do they get them to safety…​

Kel Bendeich recalls his account of the rescue, as the mine emergency response coordinator, and interviews Johnny Waerea, the ERT Captain who won the Australian Bravery Award for his heroism.
