Cairns Outback Air Tour – 2 Days Winton - Longreach

Cairns Outback Air Tour – 2 Days Winton - Longreach

If you are an international visitor to Australia or retired locals looking for an outback Queensland adventure then this is a scenic air tour in Cairns that offers some wonderful experiences at great value for money and also family friendly.

Our Cairns to Winton and Longreach 2 day scenic air tour provides a brilliant opportunity for guests to experience the Australian Outback comfortably in just two days with your own aircraft pilot and tour guide.

From our aircraft base in Cairns we head south west over the Macalister Range and set our compass for the great Australian outback countryside.

Our 2 day hosted air tour will take you back to the Australian age of dinosaurs and then on through the days and courage of those that pioneered inland Australia, conquering the outback, establishing pastoral and mining industries and creating essential services such as The Royal Flying Doctors and Queensland and Northern Territory Aerial Service (now QANTAS) that have transformed vast areas once inhospitable into the vibrant industries and outback country lifestyle of today.

​Day 1.)

Cairns to Winton Scenic Flight

Our scenic flight from Cairns takes us inland to Winton in the Central Queensland Waltzing Matilda Country.

It’s here we will visit the Heritage-listed Corfield and Fitzmaurice Building where "Elliot" the fossilised Cretaceous sauropod or in plain English a dinosaur, whose fossilised bones created worldwide interest when discovered near Winton by none other than David Elliott.

Elliot is thought to be the largest dinosaur, up to 22 meters long, to have lived in Australia.

A visit to the Wookatoo Gift and Gem Centre with its opal walk, before we re-board our private aircraft and fly on to Longreach to enjoy a night under the starry sky of outback Australia.

Day 2.)

Winton to Longreach Flight

Longreach is not only famous for visits by Queen Elizabeth 11 but also by the Princes of Wales and The Duchess of Cornwall.

In Longreach the essence of the Australian pioneer's spirit will shine as we visit the Stockman's Hall of Fame which celebrates the men and women that persevered through the hardship of remoteness, floods and drought to settle this vast tough countryside.

You will be amazed to see a QANTAS Boeing 747 Jumbo Jet as a major feature of the state of the art QANTAS Founders Museum next to their original hanger.

We will have enough time to take all this in before our return scenic flight to Cairns flying over Hughenden and onto lush green countryside along the East Coast of Australia and the Great Barrie Reef.
