About

Chinta Air offers scenic flights and flightseeing tours from a base at Rawnsley Park Station (located on the South side of Wilpena Pound, in the heart of South Australia's Flinders Ranges). With daily departures, they offer scenic flights over Wilpena Pound and the Central Finders Ranges, so you can experience the true majesty of the Flinders Ranges for yourself. If you have more time, we invite you to venture further afield to explore the Outback on a day-long flightseeing tour - a flight over Lake Eyre in the Kati Thanda National Park with lunch at an authentic Outback pub; or go North to the Arkaroola Wilderness Sanctuary. Another option is to take a couple of days (or more) and really go Outback to Birdsville and Innamincka, or to the opal capital of Coober Pedy. Chinta Air is a family owned business with over 20 years experience of scenic flights across the South Australian Outback - they look forward to welcoming you aboard for an unforgettable experience.

We meet at the Rawnsley Park Station Airstrip (free carparking available). Then board the aircraft to depart for a picture postcard view of Wilpena Pound in the morning sunlight. You will then fly over Wilpena Pound and the Heysen Range before heading to the North, over the township and coalfields of Leigh Creek, before flying over the iconic Marree Man. Then, before your eyes, the expanse of Lake Eyre (South and North) awaits - with or without water, the colours of Australia's largest salt lake are stunning and the landscapes are hypnotic. Lunch (included) is at the isolated William Creek Hotel. After lunch, we depart for Wilpena Pound to land at Rawnsley Park Station. On the way, we will fly over the opal mining town of Andamooka and the colours of Lake Torrens. Our experienced Outback pilots will showcase the stunnity Outback scenery, tell you the stories of a bygone era, and allow you to relax into your holiday.
