Which side of the plane to sit from Perth International Airport (Perth) to Busselton Regional Airport (Brusselton)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers breathtaking views of the Western Australian coastline, featuring the white sands of Rockingham and Mandurah, the vast Peel-Harvey Estuary, and a stunning approach over the turquoise waters of Geographe Bay.
Perth Skyline
A sweeping view of the Swan River and the CBD towers immediately after a southern takeoff.
Shoalwater Islands
The pristine marine park including Penguin Island and the naval base at Garden Island.
Peel-Harvey Estuary
The massive inland waterway near Mandurah, reflecting the sky with unique patterns of sandbanks.
Geographe Bay
Crystal clear turquoise waters and long stretches of white sandy beaches as you descend.
Busselton Jetty
The world-famous 1.8km long timber jetty is often visible during the final approach pattern.
This is the premier side for coastal photography. Look for the distinct blue-to-turquoise gradient of the Indian Ocean. Early morning flights are ideal as the sun is behind you, avoiding glare from the ocean and highlighting the coastal colors.
Darling Scarp
Dramatic views of the ancient granite plateau rising sharply from the coastal plain to the east.
Agricultural Mosaic
A patchwork of green and gold fields across the Harvey and Waroona farming districts.
Jarrah Forests
Dense native forests of the South West, particularly around the Wellington National Park area.
Keep an eye on the transition from the metropolitan sprawl to the lush green hills of the Scarp. Late afternoon flights provide beautiful high-contrast shadows over the valleys. On regional turboprops, sit behind the wing for the clearest downward views.
