Scenic Flight: Gosses Bluff

Highlights

Transfer from your hotel to Ayers Rock Airport to board your fixed-wing plane for the 2-hour flight. Take off and make a low-level pass along the inlet into Lake Amadeus that permits clear views of the patterns and colors of the lake, then climb higher for a wide perspective on the 112-mile (180-km) lake. Fly over the vast Australian outback and approach the George Gill Range and the beginning of Kings Canyon. Circle above the canyon as your pilot points out landmarks including the Garden of Eden waterhole and the Lost City. Continue over the inaccessible George Gill and Middle Ranges, a sight seen by few people as it is inaccessible by road. Then circle the area of Gosses Bluff where a meteorite is thought to have crashed 140 million years ago and left a massive crater that is known as Tnorala to the Western Arrernte Aboriginal people. Return to the airport and get another look at Lake Amadeus from the air. Your tour ends with return to your starting point.
