The mother protecting her newborn babe, the little boys traveling alone and in need of some parental guidance, the super capable hostess (Julianna Margulies) who provides a lot of commonsensically courageous behavior. It should probably go without saying that both pilots are rendered herpetologically inert and that someone without experience (shades of Doris Day in Julie) will have to land the plane.

...Dampier. He's keen to see them again. The pen-insula alone holds some 10,000 known engravings, but the visitors' center is closed for renovations, there are no signposts, and the intrepid Parker, 47, searches his creaky memory in vain. Low, brown boulders and rust-colored piles of super-hard granophyre give no clue to the location of the artistic riches hidden in the scrub beyond the sealed road from Karratha...
