Ballooning
People often associate Hot Air Ballooning with exotic destinations and adventure holidays, but seeing your own city from the air offers a unique perspective on daily life, and adds another layer to your knowledge of home.
Hot Air Balloons floating across the city skyline are a regular occurrence in Brisbane, Australia, and whilst locals and visitors alike relish the early morning sight, many have never ventured into the air themselves. For those who do, however, ballooning over Brisbane offers an amazing insight into a thriving river city.
Though the beauty of Brisbane is apparent from the ground, it is in the air, floating in a hot air balloon, that one truly appreciates the beauty of a city built to hug every bend of the river. From hectic traffic to calm fields, tiny creeks to man-made lakes, the geography of Brisbane fascinates those who take to the air. On a clear morning, passengers are presented with a view that stretches from the Sunshine Coast all the way down to Surfers Paradise on the Gold Coast. On a misty morning, the city seems to float amidst the fog, a castle-city in the clouds. Commuters, taking a welcome break from the daily rat run, might even be able to see the source of their usual traffic woes! And nothing beats spotting your own house from the air, and maybe taking a sneak peek at your neighbours’ backyards!
With the gift of such a beautiful city comes the responsibility to look after it, which is why one Brisbane-based company, Fly Me To The Moon, was the first ballooning company in Australia to publicly commit to an environmental policy. For the past four years, Fly Me To The Moon has achieved its target of zero net emission, which means passengers can enjoy their balloon ride over Brisbane knowing that they are not polluting their beautiful city.
Steve Griffin is one of Australia’s leading ballooninsts. As holder of 16 world records and 85 Australian ballooning records he is the country’s most prolific record breaker.
