Roebuck Bay
Witness the incredible color contrast of the pindan cliffs meeting the turquoise sea at takeoff.
Tanami Desert
Expansive views of the ancient, red-soiled desert interior stretching toward the Northern Territory.
MacDonnell Ranges
Ancient mountain ridges cutting through the red earth near the geographic center of Australia.
Blue Mountains
Spectacular sandstone cliffs and deep eucalyptus-filled valleys of the Great Dividing Range.
Sydney Harbour
The ultimate view of the Harbour Bridge and Opera House during the common northern arrival sequence.
Choose a window seat forward or aft of the wing to ensure an unobstructed view of the Kimberley's unique pindan soils. On descent, the left side is the 'lucky' side for the Harbour Bridge view when arriving via the northern flight path. For morning flights, this side also faces away from the direct sun, reducing glare and cabin heat.
