Skyward Bound with the Shepherdess: A Confluence of Sustainable Farming and Aerial Adventure

When most people think of a shepherdess, they might envision vast pastures and a peaceful life among the flock. However, the Shepherdess we're introducing today isn't confined by grassy terrains or the hills of the countryside. Recently, our favourite sustainable sheep farmer embarked on a thrilling aerial escapade with Hot Air Balloon Gold Coast, offering us all a chance to see the world through her unique lens.
