STIRLING PARK The pilot started to prepare for landing in Stirling Park. The challenge is there are no steering controls. All you have at your disposal is lift and descent. The pilot opened vents in the top of the balloon letting out the hot gases, with the occasional blast of the burners if the balloon started to drop too fast. We started to drop down towards our destination. The support vehicles gathered in anticipation and the radio chattered constantly with updates on other balloons.

Picture the joy of floating over the beautiful Canberra landscapes with your partner enjoying a glass of champagne as you float gently over the spectacular landmarks of the nation’s capital… Imagine having your own private balloon.
