Antarctica Sightseeing Flight

Places We Go Team | September 10, 2016 | 10:40 am | 21 Comments

Seeing Antarctica in one day is probably one of the most unique experiences you can have… Only from Australia can you depart on a Qantas 747, privately chartered by Antarctica Flights, and in a 12 hour return journey, see the great white continent in incredible detail – without even the need for a warm jacket. Clint shares his once-in-a-lifetime experience from the breathtaking sights, fantastic fun on board, amazing service and all the emotion of the world’s most unique sightseeing flight.

    Australia has some absolutely breath taking sights. I am lucky enough to have seen some of them. Antarctica would be as lovely as our own beautiful country!

    My Wife and I have talked and dreamed about an Antarctica trip for years.
    To be able to fly over a unique part of the world as this in full daylight would be a memory of a life time.

    I’d love to take my pal Princess Anna because her sister, my bff, went to Antarctica late last year just 5 month before she passed away from breast cancer. For Anna to see what her sister saw before she passed would the greatest gift I could ever give her.

    Having thrown up for 24 hours while crossing the Drake Passage and then spending 10 days cruising in zodiacs photographing the magic of Antartica – To now fly over and not have to scrub the penguin poo off my shoes and sip champange instead ,would be really one hell of a hoot …

    Such incredible beauty. A bucket list item for everyone. I’d take my nephews teenage daughter who has beaten cancer and continue to be monitored, if doctors allow. She has a fighting spirit that was needed by the pioneers and the courage to persist.

    How I would love to experience this amazing journey.
    A relative of mine was on Scott of The Antarctic Expedition. He was Dr Levick, and I believe he was the Botanist and Sergon. I still have a lot of research to do on him, however, I do have a copy of a photo of him taken on that trip.

I was lucky enough explore regional Victoria earli I was lucky enough explore regional Victoria earlier in the year (between lockdowns!), and tour the Goldfields with @big4holidayparks – Sure, I got my much-needed fix of the outdoors and was able to feed my insatiable curiosity as I explored the regions utterly fascinating history & culture, but it was sitting up at the old bar of family run Munari wines, just outside of Heathcote that got me.
.
 Chatting to the chief winemaker Adrian Munari, and his daughter India (over a lovely red, of course) I heard all about the historic sheep station that was established in 1871, and life on the property today. (I wonder how the farmers endured the pandemic in 1919?)  
 .
Here’s to a happy summer holiday for us all, of enjoying those ‘moments’, wherever we are. 
.
 I based myself at the @BIG4BendigoAscotHolidayPark

Meet James Rainger from @fleetadventures

He not only spends his life taking us travellers on scenic chopper tours over his World-Heritage Listed backyard of the #newengland region – he’s one of the many brilliant pilots who you’ll find hovering above the blazing heat helping fight our Australian Bushfires.

“To be part of the firefighting team is being in the #armidale  community - we all live here, our kids go to school here, so we love it. Armidale is a community where we all band together, we’re very passionate about our backyard, and we hope it shows.. and we certainly hope people come and see what it’s like. We’ve got a unique view of part of the world that not many people get to see. And there are not hordes of people here, so it’s very personal, we like to bring people into our world and our life – and share it – thank you for taking the time to come and visit us… “
