- OUTBACK EP10: Uluru scenic flight at sunrise. Departing Ayers Rock airport and flying around Uluru and The Olgas on the VFR scenic route. A magical experience seeing the rock from the air. Afterwards, I fly on to William Creek for fuel, then have to decide between Broken Hill or Griffith Airports.
I'm flying around Outback Australia over two weeks in a Cirrus SR22. If you're new here, hello! I'm Stef, a Private Pilot, and I make regular aviation and travel vlogs. SUBSCRIBE for flying ideas, aviation adventures, destination vlogs, and more.

VERY IMPORTANT: I am a private pilot and am NOT qualified to give flying instruction. This video, like all videos on this channel, has been significantly edited from the original source footage and is provided for entertainment purposes only. Many radio calls and procedures have been omitted. If you have any questions about anything you see or hear, please speak to a Certified Flying Instructor first.
I am a professional in the video production industry, and I can categorically say that Stef has some of the best editing out there for a small RUclipsr. It just goes to show how film-making as an industry is so easy to get started in. Todays episode was great Stefan, absolutely loved it!
Thanks Nicholas, I appreciate the kind words. This episode was a heap of fun to a) film and b) edit, so I'm glad you enjoyed watching. Cheers, stef.
Yep totally agree, you see effort he put into the vids :)
Your close ups of Uluru were breathtaking, and your music choice added to the drama, you successfully transferred the emotions of the moment to your audience, I could not help to feel the awe of the sight and get emotional, I’m sure it was incredibly emotional for you. Thank you for sharing this blessed place with us!
Thanks Niko, it was a really special flight, I'm so glad I could share it with everyone here on RUclips.
I have to agree with the sentiment here....
Great episode Stef. The early morning shots of 'the rock' were stunning and your choice of music was superb and made for a very effective combination.
The music as you're flying around Ularu is just spectacular, I've watched this entire series a few times and this part always gets to me
those shots of uluru are absolutely insane!!
Seeing the Rock from the air and with great music to accompany the views, my verdict Breathtaking ✈️
Thanks Stewart, really appreciate that.
When the analog UHF television was turned off in 2014, one of the towns that got a federal government grant to convert to satellite TV was Mintabie. Contractor I worked for went into the place to install about 80 odd satellite dishes for tv in private homes.
Also, pronounciation from the locals is Mint a-bee.
Some of the kids at the glorified homeschool there made a song about it, should be up on youtube. Living in Mintabie song.
Absolutely loving watching these videos.
Studying for my PPL/CPL whilst watching these videos, definitely makes studying easier.
100% my favourite aviation channel on RUclips.
Thanks Icarus FPV, great to have you following along with the trip and good luck for your P/CPL studies.
I’m only young and I’ve always had a love of flight ever since I remember when ever I hear a plane my heads always to the sky and during things I need to focus on I still find my head looking into the sky and I’m lucky that I have a Dad who takes me to air shows and the airport to watch the airplanes taking off and landing aspiring to be those pilots but as pilot training is expensive my dad says I can’t do it unless I get a job but even then I’m going to need a good job and I’m not that old so a good job is hard to come by so I love watching these videos that make me feel like apart of the cockpit along for the ride and It makes me smile watching these videos and I could only dream for more
Terrific Stuff Stef. I agree immensely with others, Your filming and editing is getting better and better. Very professionally put together and some nice music, when its needed. Your living the Dream.
Great Ep! The only thing missing is that William Creek is the worlds only Fly-in-Fly-out bottle shop.
Oh, and Griffith is big on the drug trade too...
Mad Max country! Yesss!
Another super instalment, Stef.
how did i miss these during lockdown? you been around lol very nice
The Broken Heel Festival is on!! 👠👠
I was there last week just before
Yes I found that out when I arrived into Broken Hill. It was a really cool vibe there, huge party happening in The Palace Hotel, though there were a few hungover patrons at breakfast the morning I left!
Really appreciate your videos, the time spent on editing them and I'm still amazed that your wife let's you fly off on these jaunts. Fly safe & keep current.
She is the biggest supporter of my trips compared to anyone, without her I would never be able to do trips like this. So actually it's not so much a case of her letting me, it's more her motivating me to challenge myself even more. I'm very lucky in that respect.
Drury, you've outdone yourself here. Safe travels bud. Keep it up.
Thanks Bentz5000 👍
Great episode Stef, Absolutely impressed with the speed you are cranking these out. The views are amazing
Wow...having flashbacks.. superb stuff my friend👍
Stunning views again. Brilliant video. So glad you included the Olga’s although that segment was extremely brief... 😟😟😟 And such a great soundtrack too.
I definitely want to see Ayers Rock and the Olga’s from the air as well as the ground. This outback series has been amazing. One of the best travel ads for Australia.
Another awesome video, thanks Stef!
FYI - similar to Ayers Rock - Uluru, the traditional Aboriginal name for The Olgas is Kata Tjuta. The whole area is classified as the "Uluru Kata Tjuta National Park" :)
Mate hats off to you, what an amazing series. If you ever need a cameraman look no further i got you covered :)
Fantastic easy to watch its like your there with you from the comfort of my campervan.. Everyone should share your posts you ROCK dude nice work...
I've done that scenic pattern many times. Thanks for taking me back down memory lane.
That’s so cool, I really enjoyed flying it, glad to have you riding along.
That footage of the rock is amazing. Ive only seen it from 36000ft. The Qantas pilot did a left then a right circuit so everyone could see it. Amazing. :)
Never heard of the Olgas! Another beautiful sight to see - they just keep piling up!
A bit late on this, but the name is out of date. Until a few of decades ago the two features were called Ayres Rock and the Olgas. Then they switched to the traditional aboriginal names of Uluru and Kata Tjuta. It's kind of odd that the OP used the correct term for one, but the out of date version for the other.
There is nothing like landing right next to Ayers Rock. To bad ya didn’t do it
Wow excellent ... much better than screaming past The Rock on a 73 :)
Great series Stefan and some excellent shots, Thanks
I’m going to copy your flight around these sights in my simulator. Thanks for the video!
Your best video yet. Visual and audio. Cinematic
I would love to fly into broken hill when I was a child the Royal flying doctor series always my dream job
Been waiting for this one! Absolutely loving the scenery on the journey so far, really making me feel like I have to come down and visit Australia. Looking forward to the next episode!
Thanks Rahul, and you should absolutely visit Australia, it's such an amazing and unique country. I'm sure you'd love it.
One of your best! Absolutely loved this episode. Thanks again!
Much appreciated Paulie, thanks for watching and leaving that comment.
Another Great video Stefan, love how the wife saves the day gold got love that.
She's the ultimate ground support crew!
Stefan, your flights are giving me the feeling to come to Australia one day and to go "discovering"!
Thank you for sharing your video with us!
I really hope you get to do that one day Frederick, Australia is such an amazing country and I'm really lucky to live here and fly around places like this. Hope you achieve your goal and get down here someday in the future.
Great vid, love the series
Superb video, especially the shots of Ayres Rock. Thanks for posting, but I have to say I prefer the green of England.
England was a similar colour when I flew over it a few months ago 😀
Loving this series Stefan. I'm a few hours away from doing my PPL skills test so I'm soaking up plenty of flying videos at the moment! I'm heading down under in December to spend Christmas with my family in Wollongong - hopefully I might be able to get in the air from Albion Park for a scenic trip! Keep up the good work.
Thanks Michael, I used to fly to YWOL quite a lot when I did my training out of Bankstown. It's very cool that you have the QF 747 based there now.
Looking forward to a tour of the museum - I've not been there since 2010 so I've not seen the 747. I'm training at Liverpool Airport in the UK and spending my first Christmas in Oz this year (my other half is an Aussie). I'm hoping to be PPL qualified by the time we come over so I can do some flying myself.
Have been loving this series Stef, It is so amazing to see a part of Australia from a pilots perspective, and you make it even more enjoyable! MASSIVE like!!
Thank you, I've really loved sharing some sights of our beautiful country with everyone. I like showing Australia off to the world.
Great episode, I've been enjoying the series and look forward to the next episode
Thanks for following the adventure Floyd.
I rode a motorcycle across Oz. William Creek was one of my stops, be nice to get there again without suffering the corrugations lol
I've driven over those in a 4WD in the past. That was pretty uncomfortable so I can imagine it's pretty gnarly on a motorbike.
Awesome video today
Thanks for watching Lyndon, glad you enjoyed it!
Great video - well you do have the blue mountains
Let's be honest, they're Blue Hills compared to the rest of the world!
Great vlog again! Gotta love the Mrs for sorting out accommodation!
Thanks gervers, not the first time she’s saved me!
So this time when you hop out of the plane you actually don't know where you are going to stay the night?? XD Graet videos, loving it!!
Really nice , absolutely perfect visually and technically !
Loving these videos mate 💪🏼
Amazing gotta get me one of those flying contraptions lol.
Wowww 🤩🤩
Super brother 👌
From India 🙏🙏
I fucking love this channel.
Thank you. JJ
Awesome. I lived at William Creek back in 2000 for 10 months doing Lake Eyre scenics in C172/206/210s for Wrightsair. First commercial job that set me up for Qantaslink. Videos are bringing back so many great memories. Cheers buddy!
That's so cool, would be a fun place to live and work for a while. Everyone at Wrightsair was really friendly to me there, apart from joking to me that fuel was $10/litre, that made my heart jump! Congrats on the QLink job, hope to fly on one of your planes one day.
Yeah back in 2000 there were 12 pilots jammed into the 'Whitehouse' as it was known directly opposite the apron. We manually pumped fuel out of 44G drums and if it rained the runway turned into a lake! Loved every moment. I'm a Q400 skipper these days based out of Sydney. If I see you on a manifest I'll come say hi....
You are very fortunate to be able do do that. What an amazing sight!
Absolutely, I am very grateful for the chance I've had to do this whole trip, and this flight was a real highlight.
Another fantastic video Stef!
I've been meaning to ask, how is the new prop working for you? I appreciate the video's, your time and I'd like to thank the Mrs's., for allowing you to experience this and share it with us. Fly safe.
Hey Gary, I just uploaded a video with some thoughts on the 3 vs 4 blade prop. Hopefully that answers some of your questions, stef
Fantastic view of the Rock and Olgas, love the accompanying music. It might help to remove seat belt before removing top. Thanks mate
Well done on the jumper! Great series thanks Stef.
Haha thanks, took a while but was worth it in the end!
your flight vlogs are addicting Stefan
Thanks!
Stef, your on a roll, I have really been enjoying this series, and you're over 17K Subs now... Congrats...
Thank you Robert, I'm humbled by the growth and loving making stories like this to share.
You have me hooked on this series :)
It's great to have you following the adventure. Thanks, stef.
Another great video, was surprised to see a sealed airstrip at William Creek, I guess with being close to lake Eyre there is a growing industry in scenic flights.
Thanks Peter. Yeah there’s a company called Wrightsair that operated scenic flights out of William Creek. But most people were using the dirt strip on that day with that strong South Westerly.
They saying lake eyre going to fill up this year with the rains in Qld. The bird life is incredible as well as the colours. If you haven’t seen it with water in it I’d recommend it.
Another great leg of the trip Stef! I really enjoyed the Rock and also you got to see the Marree Man. Seems in very good condition after 20 years
I’ve wanted to see that from the air for a while so yeah was great to fly past it.
Some locals in the area went in with a dozer and redid it, only about 12 months ago. They nearly got in trouble for doing it.
Great Video
Cheers Mohamed 👍
i have been watching this great series {& all your other videos} & have loved every second of them stef,keep up the great work mate.We going to have to call you the "malcom douglas of the air" soon haha
Haha, thanks Matt. Though I'm probably a little more Russell Coight...
I'd love to so laps of Ayers Rock with a paramotor.... that would be fun.
Beautiful, Stef.
Here... have a 'like'
Thanks. Have one back on your comment 👍
Loved the score for your Rock Scenic!
Nice piece of music hey Evan. I've been waiting to use that one for this very flight. Thanks for watching mate.
Another great video, so well edited. Did you fly over ayers lake? When it’s got water a wonderful sight
Hi Stefan, just wondering if by any chance you are related to a Tom Drury who was a DCA Examiner of Airmen in Brisbane back in the 70's....
Been subscribed to your channel for over a year now and loving your content and style, keep up the good work.
Thanks for subscribing and following along with the trip Robert. But no I don't believe I am related to any other Drury's here in Australia. However it's not a particularly common surname so there could be a connection somewhere perhaps, but not that I know of. I'd have to consult my Dad's family tree to be sure...
I love Australia ❤️
Me too! 🐨👍
Class video
Thanks for watching Craig, glad you enjoyed that.
Sweet vid.
The Olgas?? Kata Tjuta if you don't mind! Respect!
Does melbourne centre cover the whole of Australia? It's just a wee bit weird cos where I live, Glasgow, to get from there to london you need to contact glasgow centre, manchester centre then london and then tune to the tower (don't know for sure though my friend is a pilot who does this route regularly i'm not a pilot)
Also, how come you always do a left turn before landing on final?
No, there is an imaginary line that runs through the middle (roughly) of Australia. South of the line is controlled by Melbourne Centre, and north is controlled by Brisbane Centre. Stefan goes over this in his video at the ATC tower. And the left turn would be the turn from the Base leg of the circuit to the Final leg. A lot of airports use a left circuit pattern.
Hope you got a room to stay at in Broken Hill. I guess heading for Griffith you'll be seeing more civilisation as you get closer. A lot of flat country in between.
The fires Stefan are made by the indigenous Australians cultivating the land
another great leg Stef. what was with that warrior guy you flew over. hope one day to travel to uluru, it looked awesome
Thanks Kevin, that's called the Marree Man. It's HUGE, and nobody knows who made it! It's over 4Km from head to to, carved out of the rock. You can see it for miles around, awesome sight.
The vlog is great, the flight is great, all those stuff are just simply amazing...….I'm just wondering how do you keep the GoPro charged while filming a 2-3hrs trip???
Hi Stefan. That is an amazing trip. Thanks for sharing. How do you pay for fuel and landing fees?
Loving this series of videos! Just wondering, how much would a trip like this cost in terms of plane costs (hire, fuel, etc)?
Im from Leeton .. the next town ... :)
hello brother
hope u doing fine
i have couple of questions
1- whats the year and model of ur plane ?
2- Is it a piston engine or turbo ?
3 what is the difference in piston and turbo engine and which one is better ?
4- i am planning to buy one but where i live its -30 to 40 all the time ... what do u suggest ?
thank you i will be waiting for ur reply
Hi Stef. Thank you for the videos, it is inspiring to see documentary of your adventures. So much so I think about doing the same to share my flying adventures. I am based out of Brisbane, completed my ppl only 3 years ago, for the purpose of doing trips just like this. We have a big beautiful country and there is so much to explore. I have already clocked up many cross country trips, the most recent to Birdsville for the Big Red Bash. Can you provide any pointers to good resources in setting up video/audio kit and learning to edit? Aviation specific to I guess?
Thanks Mark, I've got a video coming out soon on my top learnings from the trip and have a lot of pilot / planning tips in there. I am overdue to do a recording gear video as well, I'll get onto that soon I promise. My setup has changed a fair bit since I made the last video so yeah it would be good to share that with the channel. Coming soon, I promise...!
Stefan Drury Thank you and I look forward to seeing it. Safe travels.
What prog are using for storms and weather?
Is there any geological relation between ULURU and VALLEY OF FIRE, NEVADA, USA?
For us in our beds here at home a drone would have been better. Please go back and do it again with a drone and go closer. Thanks.
Does your SR22 have the SatPhone option? I mean, you got accommodation at Broken Hill...
No SatPhone, the message from my wife who booked the accommodation was received through a regular 4G connection to my phone.
12:08 for a surprise
👍👌
👍
and whats ur cruise speed ?
Does KJN have air conditioning?
Yes, which has been really useful during this trip I can tell you!
Where is the man on the ground?
South Australia place called marree. He is called the marree man.
The people of Mintabie were forced to move out of their town because of government redesignation into APY group indigenous land holdings. Media put the nail in the coffin on the town with reports on crime and drug trade which was also true to a certain extent. Some residents stating that it may have taken 10 hours for police to get to the town since it was so remote and long dirt roads to get to it.
Thanks Stef, YAYE-YWMC-YBHI
Pronounced minta bee..currently a petition to keep town open
$1M Dollars in a small town? I guess opal mining is my future! 😅
