The Canberra Balloon Spectacular is considered to be one of the best and longest running hot air ballooning events in the world. Held over nine days, pilots begin laying out and inflating their balloons on the lawns of Old Parliament House from 6.15am each day before ascending into the sky and creating an exhilarating back drop to our national attractions.
We will meet at the boat shed at 5:30am sharp to be on the water for 6:00 am. Depending on the wind the lake can be one of the best places for watching the balloons.
Bring some snacks and your camera to capture the mesmerizing view of hot air balloon floating across the city!
Please bring head torch and warm clothing.
You must have done a "come and try" or kayaked with me before. Please let me know in your sign up.
Make sure you check your emails - if there is too much or too little wind or rain, the balloons don't fly, so I might call off the kayaking or postpone it.
Signing up for the trip doesn't guarantee you a spot, I will send the confirmation of your spot mid next week. The trip will be lead by Alison.
