ASlingair has taken the best features of the Northeast Kimberleyand packed them into one astounding tour. Not too long to be in a light aircraft but long enough to see a range of countryside; from farmlands to rugged coastline, waterfalls, gorges and a cattle station.

From Kununurra we will fly over the Ord Irrigation Area and follow the Ord River downstream, croc-spotting. We will pass by House Roof Hill, the location site of the Faraway Downs homestead used in the film 'Australia'. We then track north to the 'Needles', which are unusual rock formations at Cape Domett and on the way we will fly over the incredible?mangrove colonies of the Ord river 'false mouths'.

At Cape Domett we fly along the beach where thousands of north Kimberley Flatback turtles are born. We then cross the Cambridge Gulf over Lacrosse Island and follow the edge of the Timor Sea to the mighty King George River. We fly from the sea up the 12km gorge to orbit the King George Falls, then track back to the east and the Berkley River, following one pristine waterhole after another inland.

View Oombulgurri Community on the Forrest River and the winding path of the Durack River before landing at Home Valley Station for an 'HV8' Station Tour. Home Valley is government owned by the Indigenous Land Corporation and provides training for many local Aboriginal people interested in tourism or pastoral careers. The ground tour includes some locations from the film Australia and gives you an overview of the Station and its Tourism, Cattle and Training facilities.

Lunch is at the Dusty Bar & Grill and you can cool off with a swim in the resort pool. After lunch the flight takes in the western escarpment of the Cockburn Range, El Questro Station's Homestead and the Kununurra Diversion Dam.

Bring your bathers and a towel.
