Which side of the plane to sit from Griffith Airport (Griffith) to Narrandera Airport (Narrandera)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side of the aircraft offers superior views of the meandering Murrumbidgee River and the lush river red gum forests that contrast sharply with the surrounding agricultural plains.
Murrumbidgee River
The ancient, winding path of the river with its deep green loops and sandy banks visible throughout the flight.
Binya State Forest
A large expanse of native cypress pine and box woodland providing a dark green contrast to the red soil.
Narrandera Koala Reserve
Dense clusters of River Red Gums near the descent point, home to one of the region's largest koala colonies.
Berembed Weir
Engineering structures along the river used to divert water into the extensive irrigation network.
The right side is ideal for spotting the river's horseshoe bends. Late afternoon flights are spectacular as the sun reflects off the river water and highlights the texture of the eucalyptus canopy. Keep your camera ready shortly after takeoff.
Griffith Vineyards
Intricate patterns of world-class citrus groves and vineyards immediately after takeoff from Griffith.
MIA Irrigation Canal
The massive Main Canal of the Murrumbidgee Irrigation Area cutting a straight blue line through the landscape.
Cocoparra Range
Distant views of the rugged sandstone ruins and red earth of the Cocoparra National Park to the north.
Agricultural Mosaic
A patchwork of rice paddies and cotton fields that change color dramatically with the seasons.
Sit on the left for the best view of Griffith's unique radial city layout during the initial climb. Morning flights provide the best light on the distant Cocoparra Ranges without glare.
