Our Recommendation
7.8

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers superior views of the Bunya Mountains during departure and a better perspective of the rugged Carnarvon Range foothills and the township of Roma during the journey west.

Right Side Highlights
7.8
🏔️

Bunya Mountains

Distant views of the ancient rainforest-clad peaks and unique bunia pine forests rising from the horizon.

🏘️

Roma Township

A clear view of the 'Capital of the Western Downs' and its historic Big Rig monument from altitude.

⛰️

The Great Dividing Range

Rugged escarpment views shortly after takeoff as the aircraft clears the Toowoomba plateau.

🏜️

Maranoa Plains

Sprawling vistas of brigalow scrub and cattle stations that define the heart of Queensland's pastoral lands.

The right side is best for spotting the Bunya Mountains shortly after takeoff. If flying in the late afternoon, this side offers dramatic long shadows across the outback scrub, making the topography pop. Keep an eye out for the distinct white storage tanks in the gas fields near Roma.

Left Side Highlights
7.4
🌾

Darling Downs Mosaic

Aerial views of the iconic patchwork quilt of rich black soil plains and diverse agriculture fields south of Toowoomba.

💧

Condamine River

Follow the winding silver threads of the Condamine River system as it snakes through the Western Downs.

🏗️

Surat Basin Gas Fields

Observe the intricate network of access roads and infrastructure belonging to Queensland's coal seam gas industry.

🧱

Red Earth Transition

Watch the landscape change from the lush greens of the coast to the deep ochre and red tones of the outback.

Sit on the left for softer lighting during morning flights, as the sun will be on the opposite side. Look for the glint of sun off farm dams and the large geometric shapes of the cotton fields near Dalby.
