The Flying Emu
Aerial photography · Perth WA
At The Flying Emu, we specialise in capturing Matilda Bay’s natural beauty from the sky. Whether you’re showcasing a waterfront venue, promoting tourism, documenting an event or simply wanting to highlight the atmosphere of the river, our aerial photography brings the location’s subtle charm to life with precision and creativity.
Located along Crawley’s river edge, Matilda Bay is an iconic part of Perth — a place where locals picnic under the trees, kayakers glide across still water and sailing clubs dot the shoreline. From a drone’s perspective, the area becomes even more captivating.
The moored yachts create patterns and lines that look almost sculptural from above. The Swan River shifts tone depending on light and weather — from deep navy to bright aqua to soft silver at sunset. The lush green lawns, gentle shoreline curves and distant backdrop of the Perth city skyline add depth and harmony to the scene.
Nearby landmarks such as Pelican Point, UWA, and Royal Perth Yacht Club offer additional visual variety, making Matilda Bay a favourite location for tourism imagery, real estate showcases, lifestyle content and creative aerial projects.
It’s a place where the pace slows down — and the aerial perspective highlights its peaceful character beautifully.

Photographing Matilda Bay from the air requires sensitivity to light, water conditions and timing. Early mornings create soft, gentle tones, while afternoons bring vibrant colours and strong reflections. Calm days allow the river to act like a mirror, creating iconic overhead shots that feel almost painterly.
We plan drone flights around tides, wind direction and event activity to ensure the final images feel refined and naturally balanced.
