It's almost impossible to convey in words or pictures the sheer size of Mitchell Falls, in the Kimberley region of NW Australia. When you look at a picture on its own, there's no scale - nothing to compare it to.
But a lone climber who, without ropes or any safety gear, climbed down into the falls and then back out again, gives us a glimpse of the size when you compare him to the entire falls.
I put this composite picture together to show the climber doing his work, while he amazed all of us photographing him.
The National Parks officers didn't think climbing the falls was such a great idea though, as a helicopter came and dropped off two officers to meet the climber at the top of the falls and escort him away. I'm sure he just got a warning
