Scenic Flights
Day trips & tours
Whether it’s a scenic flight over spectacular Wilpena Pound or a full-day Outback adventure, Chinta Air can take you to the skies direct from Rawnsley Park Station.
Wilpena Pound and Central Flinders Scenic Flights
An early morning scenic flight is the ideal way to gain an appreciation of the scale and grandeur of Wilpena Pound. You can also fly over the ancient landscapes of Bunyeroo and Brachina Gorges. Available for a minimum of two people, up to four people.
Lake Torrens Flyover
This 2.5hrs flight shows you the amazing contrast between the majestic Flinders Ranges and the rough and rugged western plains of Lake Torrens. The tour takes in Wilpena Pound, the Heysen Range including Bunyeroo & Brachina Gorge, Parachilna Gorge, Leigh Creek, Andamooka and Lake Torrens. Available for 2-4 passengers. (No landings.)
Lake Eyre (Kati Thanda) Full-Day Tour
This classic Outback tour takes in Leigh Creek, Lake Eyre South and North, Andamooka and Lake Torrens, with a lunch stop at the William Creek Pub. Available for 2-4 passengers.
With an area that is 144km long and 77km wide (the same size as the country of Qatar), the lake is a vast expanse of salt, derived from the evaporation of floodwaters over thousands of years. The lake is filled by water from a catchment area which lies across three states and encompasses one sixth of Australia. Water flows into the lake about once every eight years but rarely fills to capacity.
Arkaroola Adventure Full Day Tour
Arkaroola Wilderness Sanctuary is located at the Northern end of the Flinders Ranges in rugged landscapes. Fly over the Ranges at sunrise before landing at the Sanctuary to join a shared 4WD Ridgetop Tour - so steep that only Arkaroola guides are permitted to drive it. You will enjoy morning tea and spectacular views at the famed Sillers Lookout.
Complete the experience with a light lunch at Arkaroola before the return flight via Blinman, Brachina Gorge and Wilpena Pound.
