The Flight Of A Lifetime


Don't have a 4WD to go to the Purnululu National Park?  You do not want to miss out on admiring this wonder of nature during your stay in the Kimberley but access to the park is closed? No problem, head to Kununurra and fly with Slingair Heliwork on a two hour scenic flight. You will remember it for the rest of your life! Every second of the flight is a feast for the eyes. After flying over the orchards of Kununurra, it is the beautiful scenery of Lake Argyle (photo) that is available to you. A few minutes later, the show becomes more amazing when the Bungle Bungle Range arises. The orange and black striped rock formations are also clearly visible from the air. Crevices, gorges, cliffs and creeks are part of the wide range of beauty that nature has to offer which you may not necessarily be able to access from the ground. The return to Kununurra is equally impressive especially over the Argyle Diamond Mine, the largest in the world. During the flight, the pilot is also your guide and provides valuable commentary on the region. The Bungle Bungle and Lake Argyle scenic flight is one of Slingair Heliwork's most popular. The company also offers a dozen more different flight options, either by plane or helicopter. A must to discover the hidden treasures of the Kimberley!

Shark Bay From The Sky


We have been sharing with you the most spectacular corners of Shark Bay that we have discovered lately. Today we take off and gain altitude with Shark Bay Air Charter to admire these from the sky. We feel privileged to fly over this breathtaking scenery, part of UNESCO World Heritage. The company based at Denham Airport offers eight different flights, lasting from 15 minutes to a full day. The overview of the birridas of François Peron National Park is particularly impressive. In the bay, the ocean is so clear and shallow that it is also possible to see sharks and other marine species which frequent the turquoise waters. Enough to blow you away! Flights are available 7 days a week, subject to weather conditions.

Emergency Airstrip


We are used to having shoulders on the side of highways in the western world. This lane is normally used as an emergency lane in the case of a breakdown or by emergency vehicles in the case of road congestion. They exist in Australia too. But in the most remote areas of the Outback, the emergency lane can sometimes occupy the entire width of the road... and become an emergency airstrip! It has not happened to us yet, but we can only imagine the surprise at suddenly being overtaken by an aircraft that lands in front of you.

A Bungalow In Strahan


Strahan is an essential stop on the west coast of Tasmania. The former fishing village has become the starting point for many outdoor activities including cruises, bushwalks or seaplane rides. The locality is now considered as the capital of Tasmania for adventures. For this reason it is recommended to stay there a few nights. iPhoneography Oz has tested Strahan Bungalows for you, located two minutes away from the city centre. The bungalows are fully equipped with two bedrooms, a kitchen and a lounge/dining room of suitable size. The interior is modern and spotlessly clean. We are not surprised to learn that the facility has won the 2009 Tasmanian Tourism "People's Choice" Award. Best of all, Sheree and Grant, the owners, have confirmed to us that the bungalows will soon be equipped with a Wi-Fi network.
