Lake Argyle
Australia's largest man-made lake, showcasing deep blue waters against the rugged red Kimberley landscape immediately after departure.
Bungle Bungle Range
The world-famous orange and black striped sandstone domes of Purnululu National Park, typically visible 20-30 minutes into the flight.
Great Sandy Desert
Breathtaking vistas of longitudinal red sand dunes and the vast, uninhabited wilderness of the Australian interior.
Lake Moore
An enormous salt lake that creates a brilliant white contrast against the red earth, often appearing like a shimmering mirage.
WA Wheatbelt
The transition from desert to organized agricultural patchwork as you enter the southern regions of Western Australia.
For morning flights, the left side provides the best lighting for photography of the Kimberley, though you may encounter some glare. Ensure you are looking out early, as Lake Argyle and the Bungle Bungles appear within the first third of the journey. In winter months, the air is clearest, providing exceptional visibility over the desert expanses.

The Pilbara Fringe
The edge of the ancient Pilbara craton, featuring some of the oldest rock formations and richest iron ore deposits on Earth.
Murchison River
The sinuous, often dry riverbed that carves deep spectacular gorges through the arid landscape toward the coast.
Perth Coastal Plain
A stunning view of the Swan River, Perth CBD, and the Indian Ocean coastline during the descent into Perth International.

Keep a lookout for the Argyle Diamond Mine site roughly 30 minutes after takeoff.
