The sitting on a nest for ages part of being a bird isn't too glamorous, but no-one can deny that they've got lucky when it comes to getting the best views. Well, they shouldn't have a monopoly on seeing majestic landscapes from overhead, and that's where Australia's hardy band of scenic flight operators comes in. Whether in a helicopter, microlight, hot air balloon or seaplane, you too can enjoy the country's finest scenery from above.

It's no secret that the Great Ocean Road has a greedy collection of dramatic rock formations along the coast. But seeing them one by one doesn't quite show off the full majesty of the coastline. 12 Apostles Helicopters manages to string them all together, flying over the Twelve Apostles, plus other favourites such as London Bridge, Loch Ard Gorge and the Sentinel.
