🏔️

Ben Lomond Plateau

🏖️

Bridport Coastline

The pristine white beaches and turquoise waters of the Barnbougle region.

🏝️

Cape Barren Island

Dramatic aerial views of the rugged, sparsely populated island with its unique rocky outcrops.

💎

Franklin Sound

A stunning visual of shallow turquoise channels and sandbars between Cape Barren and Flinders Island.

⛰️

Mt Strzelecki

The iconic granite peaks that dominate the southern skyline of Flinders Island.

The right side is essential for seeing the most dramatic island scenery. Keep your camera ready as you cross Franklin Sound, as the water colors are vibrant. Afternoon flights are best as the sun illuminates the granite faces of Mt Strzelecki.
