Perth CBD & Coastline
Panoramic views of the Swan River, the city skyline, and the turquoise waters of the Indian Ocean during the initial climb.
Gascoyne Hinterland
Vast stretches of the arid Western Australian interior, featuring winding dry riverbeds and shifting red sand dunes.
Mount Whaleback Mine
A spectacular bird's-eye view of one of the world's largest open-cut iron ore mines, showcasing deep terraced excavation pits.
Northern Wheatbelt
The transition from urban sprawl to the massive geometric patterns of Australia's grain-growing heartland.
Choose the left side for afternoon flights to keep the sun behind you, reducing glare on the window. Pay close attention during the last 10 minutes of the flight; the scale of the mining infrastructure around Newman is best appreciated from this side. If the flight departs to the south, you'll get a beautiful loop over the coast before heading north.

The lush green patches of Western Australia's oldest wine region tucked against the Darling Scarp.

The ancient granite escarpment that separates the coastal plain from the interior plateau.
Collier Range
Rugged ridges and deep valleys of the Collier Range National Park, featuring distinct weathered rock formations.
Ophthalmia Range
The iconic rusty-red mountains of the Pilbara that glow intensely during the 'golden hour' before sunset.
The right side is ideal for morning flights to witness the sunrise over the desert. Look out for the intense red and purple hues of the Pilbara earth, which are particularly vivid in the winter months when the air is clearest. This side offers better views of the rugged mountain ranges that parallel the flight path into Newman.
