Sydney's Northern Beaches
Fly along Sydney Harbour and past the Sydney Opera House. Then turn north and follow the low level route along the beautiful northern beaches. Keep a look out for Great Whites and Budgie Smugglers.
As you reach Barrenjoey Head, you can see Lion Island in the centre of Broken Bay and beyond that the Central Coast region.
Turning south you will fly down the vast watery Pittwater, and at about 7nm reach Narrabeen lagoon.
At Spit Bridge, where Sydney Harbour meets Middle Harbour, veer right across the Lower North Shore area and back to Sydney Harbour Bridge > Homebush Sydney 2000 Olympic Stadium.
