Thanks for the map Heliport. And for a bit of extra background information. Kununurra is a long way from anywhere with a population of about 6000. It has quite a large pilot population with a lot of young pilots working their way up. This year has been quite a bad one for accidents in the area :

Cessna 210 wheels up landing
Cessna 310 ran out of fuel on finals (wrong tank selected)
R44 engine failure(cause unknown at this stage)
and yesterdays R44 crash.

Fortunately no one had been hurt up until yesterday. It is a good thing that this year is nearly over
