Take off by helicopter for magical sightseeing over the Mitchell Plateau. Experience the spectacular cliffs of the Hunter River as you fly up its deep canyon toward Donkin Falls. Marvel at the Livistona palms clinging to the red rock faces of the gorge, punctuating the landscape as you fly inland. You may even spot wild cattle or donkeys in the valleys.
Broad vistas characterize the Mitchell Plateau, and you'll land above the multi-tiered Mitchell Falls and its enigmatic pools. Enjoy an hour on the ground to admire the falls' 295-foot (90m) drop. The return flight traces the course of JCR Creek and provides stunning views from above.
