Revolver Falls With HeliSpirit

Have you dreamed of seeing the Kimberley during the Wet Season? At this time of year, with many of the national parks closed and roads shutting after heavy rains, the best way to see the Kimberley’s mightiest wet season waterfalls is via chopper. Kununurra-based Helispirit offer some fantastic Wet Season chopper flights, including this one that our admin Scotty Connell joined yesterday. Here, Scotty gives us the lowdown on one of our favourite waterfalls in the Kimberley, Revolver Falls.

FLYING OVER THE ORD RIVER AND LAKE ARGYLE

Yesterday, myself and community paramedic, Sarel flew out to our favourite wet season fall, Revolver Falls, which is located on the Western side of lake Argyle.

The day started when we arrived at Helispirit’s Kununurra airport base at 0630 am for a 0700 am departure. Just as we were departing, a big cloud came over the valley form the west so we tracked the Ord River up to Lake Argyle and found a nice spot on an island in the middle where we waited for the storm to pass over.

Once it passed, we enjoyed watching a beautiful rainbow appear over the lake. We set off again and flew through another rainbow in the middle of the lake.

As we tracked through the Carr Boyd Ranges Western Gorges we began to see big streams of white coming out of the hills in every direction. We were so excited as we flew over our first 3 stage waterfall.

FIRST LOOK AT REVOLVER FALLS

As we rounded the last bend we were thrilled to see Revolver Falls with a perfect flow. What a sight to see, the Kimberley’s least known, yet largest single-drop waterfall … in all her glory!

We landed on top for a swim and the pilot, Sam, flew to the other side to get some photos for us.

After a few hours of swimming, we jumped back in the chopper and set off back across the ranges, taking in the countless waterfalls and tracking through Carlton Gorge on the Ord river. It was glassy and looked perfect.

Unfortunately due to the weather we had to keep the doors on the helicopter so, due to sun glare, we weren’t able to get as many ‘hero shots’ as we’d hoped. Instead, we were “forced” to sit back and just take it all in. What a treat!

We’d like to thank and acknowledge the traditional owners, the Mirriuwung Gaggerong people who have called this place home for thousands of years.

Thanks so much to Helispirit for a memorable day out. It’s one we’ll never forget.

  12. Asset tokenization is a revolutionary new approach to asset management that involves replacing sensitive information with digital representations of it, increasing security while simultaneously decreasing costs and making trading assets simpler. Asset tokenization has created investment opportunities across various industries, giving art collectors access to fractional ownership sales of their artworks. Selling Article Tokenization of assets is an emerging trend and many businesses are eager to get on board. Tokenization involves converting ownership rights of an asset into digital tokens on a blockchain network. This provides key advantages like traceability and security; additionally making it easier for investors to gain access to otherwise inaccessible illiquid assets. For tokenizing assets to take place smoothly and efficiently, there are various vendors who specialize in this service. They can offer an end-to-end solution or white label option tailored specifically for their client and assist in meeting regulatory compliance needs such as creating compliance structures. Selecting the ideal vendor is key when beginning this journey. Once a token has been created, it becomes an immutable record that cannot be altered, meaning no one can claim ownership fraudulently and increasing reliability of records within supply chains. Tokenized assets range from art and sports clubs, real estate properties, company shares, debts and commodities - everything from art galleries and sports clubs to real estate, company shares, debts and commodities. By tokenizing such assets it allows smaller investments in illiquid assets which opens the market to billions of potential investors while eliminating middlemen thereby decreasing fraud risks; additionally it protects patient data against cyber attacks that are commonplace in healthcare environments. About Autentic.capital At present, we are in the early stages of digital asset transformation. This change will enable traditional assets like stocks to be tokenized for tokenized trading platforms like Atentic.capital. As part of its ecosystem services platform for digital asset trading platforms. Autentic.capital is an independent wealth management firm this type of professional service provider. The platform utilizes blockchain technology and provides its investors with an exceptional level of transparency and trust, enabling members to invest directly into various securities without needing an intermediary broker. Registration Tokenizing an asset refers to creating a digital representation or placeholder of it that can then be traded on blockchain networks and may contain data such as transaction histories and ownership records that represent its underlying asset. Considerations and limitations associated with tokenization must also be taken into account, the first of which being that it doesn't always give legal ownership of an asset being tokenized - for instance if I purchase a tokenized bond I may own it technically but only own part of its legal value, leading to more confusion over its legal landscape in general. This development highlights why the legal landscape surrounding tokenization still needs more work. But demand for automating asset tokenization for improved liquidity and risk management should drive market expansion over the forecast period. Furthermore, an increasing need to democratize access to alternative investments and broaden diversification opportunities should drive further market development. The global asset tokenization software market can be divided into three main segments, according to type, deployment method and application. By type of tokenization software used for asset illiquidity or real estate tokenization purposes as well as stable coins or others is included; cloud-based and on-premise deployment methods; application includes financial enterprises and banks are included among them as potential customers of asset tokenization technology globally. As predicted in our forecast period this market is projected to experience exponential compound annual compound annual growth due to rising demand across various industries worldwide for this technology. Tokenization Tokenizing data has many uses. One such way is for subscription billing and recurring payments where customers are asked to save their card details or eCommerce sites that provide "one-click" checkouts for customers. By tokenizing data, these transactions can process faster while decreasing abandoned sales rates significantly. Tokenization should not be seen as a stand-in security solution, and should be combined with technologies such as data loss prevention, rate limiting, and monitoring. When considering token use as part of their overall security solution it must also consider storage costs associated with data vaults as well as plans for future expansion. Apart from increasing security, tokenization makes adding additional features easier; particularly for applications that use original data without needing detokenization. This increases efficiency and decreases costs by eliminating unnecessary exchange processes that would need repeating themselves repeatedly. Institutional investors are increasingly using tokenization to diversify their portfolios by investing in alternative assets like cultural heritage, digital music and film catalogs and real estate. Such investments provide access to markets otherwise closed off while also opening the market up for new forms of investments to be introduced into it.
