Warrego River Meanders
Intricate river patterns visible shortly after take-off from Charleville.
Bunya Mountains
Distinctive dark peaks of the ancient rainforest range visible to the north during the descent.
Darling Downs Mosaic
Geometric patterns of cotton, wheat, and sorghum fields in the black-soil plains.
Great Dividing Range
The rugged northern foothills as the aircraft approaches the Toowoomba plateau.
Toowoomba North Side
Views of the suburban sprawl and the 'Garden City' parks upon arrival.
Sit on the left for morning flights to avoid the direct northern sun glare. This side provides the best perspective of the Bunya Mountains on the approach to Dalby. Look for the 'color line' where the outback red earth turns into the deep black soil of the Darling Downs, usually occurring mid-flight near Roma.

Town of Roma
Clear views of the large regional hub and its famous saleyards from the south.
The right side is ideal for spotting small rural outposts and the southern agricultural fringe. During late afternoon flights, expect significant glare as the sun moves toward the west. It offers a clear view of Lake Broadwater, which is a significant landmark in an otherwise dry landscape.
