Southern Flinders Ranges
The ancient, rugged peaks of the Flinders offer dramatic topographical relief shortly after departure.
Mount Remarkable
A prominent 960m peak near Melrose that serves as a sentinel over the surrounding plains.
Mid North Farmlands
A sprawling patchwork of golden wheat and canola fields that change color vividly with the seasons.
Barossa Valley
World-renowned wine region characterized by neat rows of vineyards and historic stone wineries.
Adelaide Hills
The final scenic stretch featuring lush valleys, dense forests, and the peaks of the Mount Lofty Ranges.
Sit on the left for the most diverse landscape views. On morning flights, the sun will be on this side, so the mountains will be brightly lit, though window glare may occur. In winter, the hills are vibrantly green, while summer offers a stark, golden outback aesthetic.

Spencer Gulf
The deep blue waters of the gulf stay in view for the first half of the flight.
Whyalla Steelworks
Across the water, the industrial skyline of Whyalla and its massive steel plant are often visible.
Yorke Peninsula Coast
Clear views of the white sandy beaches and turquoise waters near the towns of Wallaroo and Moonta.
Gulf St Vincent
The major body of water that the aircraft traverses as it aligns for the descent into Adelaide.
Port Adelaide
The historic docks and the winding Barker Inlet visible just moments before touchdown.
The right side is ideal for afternoon flights to witness the sunset over the Spencer Gulf. Look for the distinct white circles of salt evaporation pans along the coast near Port Price. It provides a more serene, maritime-focused visual experience compared to the rugged inland views on the left.
