Yuraygir National Park
The longest stretch of undeveloped coastline in NSW, showcasing secluded beaches and rock pools.
Solitary Islands Marine Park
A cluster of offshore islands and reefs visible near Coffs Harbour, home to diverse marine life.
Coffs Harbour Jetty
The iconic timber pier and the bustling marina area are clearly visible as you pass the city.
Trial Bay Gaol
The historic stone ruins of the 19th-century prison perched on the cliffs at South West Rocks.
Hastings River
The picturesque mouth of the river at Port Macquarie where the blue water meets the town's breakwall.
Sit on the left for morning flights to witness the sunrise over the Pacific Ocean. During whale migration season (June to November), keep a close eye on the water for breaches and spouts near the headlands. This side offers the best contrast between the deep blue of the Tasman Sea and the bright white sand of the coast.

Clarence River Valley
Expansive views of Australia's largest coastal river winding through fertile floodplains.
Great Dividing Range
The distant, misty blue peaks of the range forming a dramatic western horizon.
Dorrigo Escarpment
Steep, densely forested mountain slopes that drop sharply toward the coastal plains.
Macleay Valley Hinterland
A patchwork of emerald green dairy pastures and agricultural land surrounding Kempsey.
The right side is ideal for afternoon flights as the sun illuminates the mountains of the Great Dividing Range. Look for the distinct 'Great Escarpment' where the plateau drops off into rainforest valleys. This side is typically smoother for viewing if there is high coastal cloud cover obscuring the immediate shoreline.
