Helicopter to Gosse Bluff

"Wanna ride in my helicopter?"

Perfect words from Ryan, Glen Helen Resort's reisdent pilot!

Yesterday I had the pleasure of experiencing 40 minutes of feeling as free as a bird, being buffetted by winds, flying over galloping brumbies, swooping beside jagged cliffs, and exploring this truly amazing and ancient landscape.  Gosse Bluff is one of my favourite central-Oz attractions; its spirituaity can reach even the toughest athesist.  To fly over this massive crater, which feels as old as time itself, and which is isolated by thousands of hectares of stark desert, is simply sublime.
