Sitting on the left side provides an excellent view of the Parkes township and the expansive, colorful agricultural patchwork characteristic of the New South Wales Central West.
While both sides offer views of the rolling Central Tablelands, the Right Side is preferred for its views of the winding Macquarie River and, most importantly, the iconic Parkes Radio Telescope (The Dish) during the descent.
The right side typically offers an iconic view of the Sydney CBD and Harbour during departure, followed by the deep sandstone canyons of the Grose Valley in the Blue Mountains and a likely view of 'The Dish' on arrival.
