Which side of the plane to sit from Taree Airport (Taree) to Grafton Airport (Grafton)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a spectacular vantage point over the Mid North Coast's iconic turquoise estuaries, white-sand beaches, and the Solitary Islands Marine Park.
Search flights from TRO to GFN
Manning River Delta
The unique double-river mouth system at Harrington and Old Bar shortly after takeoff.
Port Macquarie Coast
Aerial views of Tacking Point Lighthouse and the string of urban beaches heading north.
Trial Bay Gaol
The historic ruins of the 19th-century prison situated on the rocky headland of South West Rocks.
Nambucca Heads Estuary
The striking 'V-Wall' and the intricate, shifting sand patterns of the Nambucca River entrance.
Solitary Islands
A chain of offshore islands and reefs teeming with marine life visible near Coffs Harbour.
The right side is best during afternoon flights when the sun illuminates the coastline and reefs. Look for whales breaching during the migration season (June–November) and the vibrant blue hues of the Clarence River mouth as you approach Grafton.

The Three Brothers
Distinctive volcanic peaks (North, Middle, and South Brother) rising sharply from the coastal plain.
Lansdowne Escarpment
Dramatic cliff lines and dense subtropical rainforests bordering the Manning Valley.
Macleay River Valley
Expansive green floodplains and patchwork farmland surrounding the historic town of Kempsey.
Dorrigo Plateau
In the distance, the rising edge of the Great Dividing Range and the New England wilderness.
Sit on the left for morning flights to avoid direct sun glare. Keep an eye out for the 'Three Brothers' mountains immediately after departure from Taree; they are the most prominent landmarks on this side.
