The right side provides excellent views of the Taronga Western Plains Zoo's enclosures and the surrounding agricultural tapestry during the final approach.
The left side provides the most iconic views of the Blue Mountains' dramatic sandstone escarpments and the sprawling Lake Burrendong reservoir during the descent.
The Right Side is preferred as it provides a clear view of the Menindee Lakes and the winding Darling River, which are the most visually distinct features in this arid landscape.
