Perth Northern Beaches
Immediate views of Hillarys Boat Harbour and the pristine suburban coastline following takeoff.
Lancelin Sand Dunes
Massive, brilliant white sand dunes that stand out sharply against the coastal scrubland.
Nambung National Park
Home to the Pinnacles Desert; from this height, the yellow sands and limestone pillars are visible near Cervantes.
Jurien Bay Marine Park
Stunning turquoise waters, offshore reefs, and small islands dotting the coastline.
Geraldton Port
As you descend, view the busy iron ore and grain port facilities and the iconic lighthouse.
Sit on the left for morning flights to avoid the direct glare of the sun reflecting off the Indian Ocean. In the late afternoon, this side offers incredible sunset views over the water. Aim for a seat ahead of the wing for an unobstructed view of the coastline's shifting colors.

Swan Valley
Lush vineyards and the winding Swan River visible shortly after departing Perth.
Gnangara Pine Plantation
Large, geometric blocks of managed forest providing a dark green contrast to the landscape.
WA Wheatbelt
A patchwork quilt of agricultural fields that change from vibrant green in winter to golden brown in summer.
Salt Lakes
Various seasonal salt lakes that often appear as bright white or pinkish patches inland.
Moresby Ranges
Flat-topped hills near Geraldton that provide a unique geological backdrop during the final descent.
The right side is best during early morning flights when the sun illuminates the agricultural patterns of the interior. Look for the Darling Scarp on the horizon during initial climb. It is generally a more subtle, 'big sky' landscape compared to the dramatic coastline on the left.
