Australia’s largest salt lake is a place of pure wildness and certainly an unforgettable landscape of opposite extremes, it is as dry as a desert at times and one of world’s 20 largest lakes at other time. Scenic flights are the best way to capture its entire beauty.

Pinnacles Desert

As the name says, expect desert scenery, but a special one. It is characterized by pinnacles made of seashells that date back millions of years, in the age when this sand was below sea level. Do not be surprised to come across emus and kangaroos, especially in the mornings.

Blue Mountains

One of Australia’s nature icons, Blue Mountains will enchant you with their magic like blue haze and unique relief. In order to be able to visit all of its wonders, see the customs of Darug and Gundungurra people or meet the Three Sisters, taking a Blue Mountains day trip would be the best choice.

Murray River
