One of the most breathtaking moments of Australia Day is the Navy helicopter soaring across the skyline, towing a giant Australian National Flag that ripples proudly above crowds gathered with friends and family.
Lifting off from Middle Head, the helicopter sweeps over Sydney’s northern beaches, glides through the Harbour, and tracks south toward Nowra. Along the way, thousands of people look to the sky to witness this spectacular tribute – a moment that never fails to inspire.
To catch the flyover in all its glory, head to vantage points around Sydney Harbour, the northern and eastern beaches, or along the south coast.
