Australia – All Sights

Part 4 – Victoria and Tasmania

In the fourth part of the World Update XXI, Australia, featuring many newly added POIs, AOIs, and airports, the journey takes you through Victoria and Tasmania. In this mission, you’ll encounter all the POIs, AOIs, and airports created so far for MS Flight Simulator, along with the most impressive landscapes of these two Australian territories.

This fourth part, from Mallacoota to Mount Gambier, unfolds as one of the most diverse and geographically rich flight routes in the entire Australia project, with two more parts to follow. The journey begins in the winding lagoon landscape of the Croajingolong region, takes you along the Australian Alps, and then opens up into a wide, tranquil passage over the mountain ranges of Victoria before you cross Bass Strait and immerse yourself in the island-rich world of Tasmania. There, the route condenses into a succession of striking landscapes: the rugged granite peaks of Flinders Island, the long sandy arcs of the east coast, the clean lines of Freycinet National Park, the urban fabric of Hobart, the historical depth of Port Arthur, and the dramatic west coast around Queenstown, whose mining history and geological scars are particularly striking from the air. The onward flight to Launceston, over the large reservoirs and technical landmarks such as the Batman Bridge or the Devils Gate Dam, lends the leg a technical and cultural dimension that blends harmoniously into the overall mission. With King Island, you finally reach an isolated, wind-sculpted outpost of Bass Strait before returning to the mainland and heading west along the Great Ocean Road, the basalt coast, and the vast plains of the Wimmera. The conclusion in Mount Gambier, nestled in the young volcanic landscape of the Kanawinka Province, feels like a geological finale that rounds off the entire leg with a clear, natural logic. Overall, the picture that emerges is of a journey that weaves together water, islands, mountains, coastlines, technology, history, and volcanism into a single, flowing narrative—a route that is virtually unmatched in its diversity and internal coherence.
