Which side of the plane to sit from Narrandera Airport (Narrandera) to Griffith Airport (Griffith)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers an exceptional view of the Murrumbidgee River's winding path and the vast irrigation networks that transform the semi-arid landscape into a vibrant agricultural hub.
Murrumbidgee River
Follow the serpentine path of the river lined with ancient river red gums and dramatic oxbow lakes.
Irrigation Network
Intricate patterns of canals and channels feeding the diverse crops of the Riverina 'food bowl'.
Rice Paddock Mosaic
Large, shimmering rectangular paddocks that vary in color from neon green to golden depending on the season.
Early morning flights are best as the low sun angle highlights the water's reflection in the irrigation canals. During the summer months, look for the bright green of the rice crops which contrast sharply with the red soil. Since the flight duration is under 30 minutes, secure your window seat early as the aircraft remains at a relatively low altitude throughout.
Narrandera Township
A clear view of the historic town layout and the Narrandera Wetlands immediately following departure.
Cocoparra Ranges
The rugged silhouette of the Cocoparra National Park rising from the flat plains to the north.
Griffith Vineyards
As you descend into Griffith, the landscape shifts into perfectly symmetrical rows of grapevines and citrus groves.
The right side is ideal for spotting the geological transition from the plains to the rocky outcrops of the Cocoparra National Park. Keep your camera ready during the final descent into Griffith to capture the geometric precision of the local citrus orchards and vineyards, which are best seen from the right side of the cabin.
