Highlands from the air-conditioned comfort of our Robinson R44 or Bell206
Longranger helicopter.While aboard Bush Heli-Services 40min scenic flight, you will enjoy an
informative commentary of the rich history that Clermont has to offer.

 Departing our base at 661 Peakvale Road we start our journey towards Lord
Tabletop Mountain, on our flight path we will take in the sights of Clermont.

Approaching first the Copperfield Chimney and original General store.
Clermont was the first town in Queensland to open a Coppermine, running from
1862 the 1880’s. We are lucky enough to still have standing both the
Copperfield chimney and the general store.

Clermont is one of the most historic towns in northern Australia and has a
colorful and engaging past.

While on the flight you will experience a birds eye view of the Clermont
township and Hoods Lagoon.

This historic town is filled with evidence of the days of gold rushes,
copper mines, timber getters and stockmen. Clermont is also famously known as
the ‘Town That Moved’. 

The showstopper that is Lord Tabletop Mountain will take your breath away
with its sheer size, scope, and formation. It is just one of many volcanic
plugs in the Peak Downs National Park. You will get to experience this mountain
from all angles, The flat top is actually divided in two, with the smaller
plateau, Anvil Peak, marked at 737 meters, or 2919 feet, presumably being the
highest point, as the rest of the plateau is not given a summit height.

As we begin our journey home, we will fly over Clermont Open Cut Mine. It
is a marvel to see from the air. Construction started in 2007 and is one of the
largest thermal coal mines in Australia and is still open and running today.

After taking in the sights of the Mine we begin the final leg back to the
hanger, on the way you will experience the vastness of the farming landscape
both livestock and crops.

On arrival back to the hanger there will be a chance of photos for
passengers with the helicopters.
