Fitzroy River
The winding path of one of Australia's largest river systems as it snakes through the arid landscape.
Wunaamin Miliwundi Ranges
Ancient, rugged sandstone fold mountains formerly known as the King Leopold Ranges.
Lake Argyle
Australia's largest man-made lake, appearing like a massive sapphire sea amidst the red rock during descent.
Ord River Irrigation Area
A striking patchwork of vibrant green agricultural fields that stand out against the desert surroundings.
Mirima National Park
Often called the 'Mini Bungle Bungles,' these orange sandstone formations are visible just before landing.
The right side is the undisputed winner for the approach into Kununurra. Ensure your camera is ready about 15 minutes before landing to capture Lake Argyle. Afternoon flights offer the best lighting on this side, as the low sun illuminates the orange and red hues of the escarpments.

Roebuck Bay
Stunning contrast of turquoise water against the deep red Pindan soil immediately after takeoff from Broome.
King Sound
View of the massive gulf near Derby, known for having the highest tropical tides in the southern hemisphere.
Buccaneer Archipelago
A glimpse to the north of the thousand-island cluster and the rugged, broken coastline of the Kimberley.
Cambridge Gulf
The deep estuarine system where the Five Rivers meet the sea near the town of Wyndham.
The Bastion
The prominent hill overlooking Wyndham and the surrounding salt flats as the plane turns toward Kununurra.
Morning flights are best for the left side to keep the sun behind the aircraft, which enhances the saturated colors of the coastline and mudflats. Keep a sharp eye out for the distinct 'crocodile' shapes formed by the tidal creeks in the King Sound area.
