My second most favored Australian tour is in the north of Western Australia on the other side of the continent the bungle bungles amazing view from the air, a very affordable aircraft is available on the Western Australian and Northern Territory border town, you can fly over the diamond mine known for pink diamonds and champagne diamonds also the biggest industrial Australian diamond mine in the world. The same flight also fly’s over the amazing irrigation and massive dam construction in this semi arid region before you turn around and come back to the air strip, you will see the most unusual and amazing bungle bungles mountains. The flight then U-turns comes back to the border town, where you started from in the North west of Australia not so far from Australia’s neighbor Indonesia.

The flight then U-turns comes back to the border town, where you started from in the North west of Australia not so far from Australia’s neighbor Indonesia. One of the best natural Australian famous World Heritage sites to fly over is the Great Barrier Reef 2000 km long, but if you want a magnificent harbor and city then Sydney Harbor will equal any famous place in the world that can offer similar attractions.
