A fantastic introduction to Australia
Visiting Australia for the first time and I wanted to make great use of my time here.

Having landed at 5pm yesterday the prospect of having to be up at 3am today wasn’t something I was looking forward to.

However when the bus arrived at my location it all soon became highly enjoyable when Brownie stepped of the bus, introduced himself and away we went.

After an about an hour we met up with the another bus we passengers from other resorts and we headed off to our take off site.

A brief safety video played and shortly after we arrived.

Getting out from the bus you are greeted by this enormous balloon being filled. Brownie and the other ground crew kept up entertained until Neil the pilot was happy for us all to load up.

As we floated across the the skyline Neil was pointing out Roo’s and telling about the area we were travelling above. We dropped down for better view of the wildlife and to wave to some of the locals.

Being up high and seeing the sun rise over this beautiful landscape was amazing and the perfect start to my Australian adventure.

All too soon it was time to come in to land a nice smooth land in a small paddock. Precision parking from Neil!

A few small snacks and a glass of fizz to celebrate the moment.

All too soon it was time to head back onto the bus and head back to be dropped back off. A quick bathroom stop and a chance to grab a coffee on the way and another safe and enjoyable journey. Be the time we had arrived back at my drop off point a link to the complementary photos which had been taken throughout the experience was in my inbox.

Thank you to Brownie, Neil and the other members of the Hot Air Balloon Cairns team.
