The Heart & Heritage Of Australia By Private Jet

Mandy Churchill

Step aboard your private jet for the first time in Sydney and enjoy a glass of bubbly as we fly you direct to Hervey Bay. After a whale watching cruise, you’ll be welcomed to Kingfisher Bay Resort with free-flowing drinks and dinner featuring locally foraged ingredients. Explore the island by 4WD, enjoy a beachfront lunch, and watch the sun sink into the ocean during drinks at your resort’s outdoor bar.

Thanks to our private jet, we trade a long drive for a single, and indulgent, flight to Longreach. Our first evening here unfolds at the Qantas Founders Museum, where we sit down to a private dinner in the museum alongside the landmark aircraft. Visit the Stockman’s Hall of Fame and enjoy the colours of a darkening outback sky during a paddle steamer cruise along the Thomson River.

Return to our aircraft and descend into the Red Centre. Some of us may check in to Sails in the Desert for the next three nights enjoying a range of activities including a dinner under the desert sky and a sunrise visit to Uluru. Others may choose to leave the group and upgrade to Longitude 131 o. This is the region’s most exclusive residence; the ultimate outback indulgence with uninterrupted views of Uluru and its own unique program of activities.

We farewell Uluru and head for Exmouth on Western Australia’s Coral Coast, flying low so as to take in stunning aerial views of Karijini National Park along the way. Experience Ningaloo reef from a glass bottom boat, laze about on the beach at Turquoise Bay and watch whales slip in and out of the water at sunset. You may also choose to swim with whale sharks, spend a day exploring Cape Range National Park or head out on a deep-sea fishing adventure.

Call in at Shark Bay to meet the famous wild dolphins of Monkey Mia. Our final private jet flight then takes us to Perth, where we’re warmly welcomed to COMO The Treasury. We get together for a final dinner before our journey comes to an end.
