Australia – All Sights

Part 6 – Western Australia

In the sixth part of the World Update XXI, Australia, featuring many newly added POIs, AOIs, and airports, the journey takes you through Western Australia. In these multi-part missions, you’ll encounter all the POIs, AOIs, and airports created so far for MS Flight Simulator, along with the most impressive landscapes.

This sixth journey begins in Busselton, where the coastline still appears gentle, orderly, and almost Mediterranean. But just a few minutes later, the mood changes: the coast becomes wilder, the surf stronger, the colors more intense. With Bunbury, the Wellington Dam, and the forests around Collie, you’ll dive into an inland region characterized by eucalyptus trees, reservoirs, and old mining areas. After that, the landscape opens up into the Wheatbelt region—an endless mosaic of fields, colorful salt lakes, and small towns that lie like islands in the vast countryside. The approach to Perth offers an urban contrast before the route transitions back into a maritime expanse via Rottnest Island, Lancelin, and the dunes of the West Coast. From here, the Great North begins: Jurien Bay, Geraldton, the arid plains toward Murchison—a landscape that grows increasingly open, dry, and archaic. With the Jack Hills, the oldest rocks on Earth, and the vast mining areas around Newman and Hope Downs, you enter a world of iron, dust, and geological depth. This is followed by another transition to the coast: Exmouth, Ningaloo Reef, the islands of the Northwest Archipelago—a section that feels almost tropical in the simulator. The final leg leads into the Pilbara and finally to the Kimberley, one of Australia’s wildest coastal regions. Islands, reefs, red cliffs, mangroves, tidal currents—and finally the flight over the rugged coastline to the Mitchell Plateau, one of the continent’s most remote airfields.
