We stayed in Fox Town that day. The town is not big. It takes 6 minutes to walk and 2 minutes to drive. There is a large parking lot at the helicopter registration point, which is convenient. We reported half an hour in advance, and the staff gave a safety explanation. Then we drove to the helicopter airport, which is about 10 minutes away. It is convenient and fast.
【View】Amazing flight and snowfall. The weather was shabby and we only had a short time but managed to make it a flight we will never forget!!
【Fun】Spent two days and two nights in FJ. A lovely town. Lots of places to eat. Did the Roders Track do the other reviews? The little 4m2 shop was nice, the sandwiches and pies were good. I did notice that there were a lot of vines growing on all the trees on the main road. So sad. It's a shame that it can't be sorted. But all in all, a must visit destination.
