Simpson Desert Edge
Witness the striking linear red sand dunes of Munga-Thirri National Park stretching toward the horizon.
Eyre Creek Catchment
View the complex network of ephemeral waterholes and channels that define the Channel Country landscape.
Bedourie Pothole
Just after takeoff, spot the unique geological depressions and salt pans surrounding the Bedourie township.
For the most dramatic views of the sand dunes, book a late afternoon flight. The low sun creates long, dark shadows across the red ridges, accentuating their height and pattern. During the wet season, watch for the rare sight of water filling the claypans.

Georgina River Channels
Observe the vast, braided river systems of the Georgina River, which can span several kilometers wide during floods.
Marion Downs Station
Look for the sprawling infrastructure and cattle tracks of one of Australia's most historic and remote pastoral leases.
Burke River Approach
On descent into Boulia, follow the winding path of the Burke River as it cuts through the arid stony plains.
The right side is ideal for spotting the unique 'braided' patterns of the Channel Country. Keep an eye out for dust plumes from station vehicles on the Diamantina Developmental Road, which runs roughly parallel to the flight path.
