Where are the "Must see" places to fly to or over in Oz.....?

[redhot]

.

 

Sites that come to mind are Lake Eyre and Argyle, Kings Canyon, Uluru, 12 apostles, G B reef, etc, but where have you been/seen that you highly recommend???

 

Pics would be great,

 

Cheers

The whole place. Start going around the coast of Australia - then inland. The best flying. Aussie land is the great. (however not the pollies)

Disagree with post #2. I love the scenic routes listed in the YSCB ERSA entry. I've been told to orbit over New Parliament House, also ballooned over it.

 

It's a really good, accessible set of flights a few minutes from the airport outside peak times.

 

Thanks pollies, for knowing little planes are no threat to their mound of democracy.

SSCBD Beat me to it Guys 'N' Gals. . . . I was going to say ALL OF IT ! Ok, ok, maybe the Simpson Desert is a bit of a stretch,. . .but I'll bet it LOOKS great from 10,000 feet. . . . ( Never had the pleasure of personally overflying it, oddly enough. . . . )

(Not going over ones already mentioned)

 

If you like the coast, Caloundra, Bribie island, Nth Stradbroke.

 

When I was up there the "jump" from Bribie to Nth Stradbroke was fantastic and you look down and see the sand below the water and the patterns were amazing!

 

Then there is Fraser Island - Hervey bay.

 

Did nearly a day flying around it.

 

Tumut - snowy mountains.

 

Take off, fly south over the lakes, climb up the "valley" to Cabramurra (Spelling?) then fly on the west side of the range to Mt Hotham.

 

When I did it, it was just ........ breath taking. In a beautiful way. Not the "Holly $hit!" kind.

Ladies and gents,

 

I reckon there's some wonderful flying to be done around our very own Top End. Flying over Kakadu flood plains during the wet is quite extraordinary, as is flying along the Arnhemland escarpment. I've never flown them, but I'm guessing some sections of the Kimberley would also make for above-average aviating.

Three Hummock Island off the Tassie coast is a great getaway.

 

 

[dunlopdangler]

This time of year of course there is the Birdsville races... if for no other reason but to say you've been:coffee:

 

 

[NT5224]

If you're flying down Birdsville way I guess it might be worth tracking across to Lake Eyre to check if there's any wet stuff in there... I recall two blokes from MKT flew down in Drifters a couple of years back when the lake was full, and it turned into quite an adventure....

 

 

[spacesailor]

Any where in Australia I can hitch a ride!

 

They are all top spots.
