Скачать или смотреть A helicopter flight over Kings Canyon in Central Australia

My son Felix and I visited Kings Canyon in July 2025. We stayed at Kings Creek Station about 36 km from the canyon. They had a small helicopter and we took a flight over Kings Canyon. This was Felix’s first time in a helicopter, and it was the smallest I had ever been in. The pilot took the doors off it so we could have unobstructed views. Below a short video and a few photos from the air. Spectacular views. It was extremely windy in the open helicopter as we were flying at 180 km/hr and there were strong cross-winds.

Kings Canyon is located about halfway between Alice Springs and Uluru, by road its about 470 km from Alice. The canyon has been cut 100 m deep into the layered sandstone and shale over a period of 400 million years, creating one the most spectacular landscapes in central Australia.
