Search flights from PER to BNE
Nullarbor Plain
The vast, treeless limestone plateau that stretches toward the Great Australian Bight.
Flinders Ranges
The spectacular ancient folded mountains and the iconic natural amphitheater of Wilpena Pound.
Murray-Darling Basin
Australia's longest river system winding through the transition from desert to greenery.
Gold Coast Skyline
Glittering high-rises and long stretches of surf beaches visible during the descent.
Moreton Bay
Crystal clear turquoise waters and the large sand islands of North Stradbroke and Moreton.
The Right Side is essential for the Flinders Ranges, which are a major mid-flight highlight. On approach to Brisbane, this side typically provides views of the coast if the flight path tracks from the south. This side stays in the shade during the middle of the day, preventing window glare during the most scenic segments over South Australia.

Salt Lake Mosaics
A series of shimmering white and pink salt pans, including Lake Lefroy, contrasting with the red earth.

Vast, untouched expanses of red sand dunes and unique desert vegetation patterns.
Channel Country
Intricate, vein-like river networks that transform into an inland sea during rare flood events.

Choose the left side for optimal views of the Great Victoria Desert's color transitions. In the morning, the low sun angle highlights the textures of the salt lakes. Keep an eye out for the remote mining towns of the interior. This side avoids direct sun glare for most of the eastbound journey, making photography easier.
