Enjoy your experience! ----- The magic and romance of flying in a hot air balloon can be easily experienced with this stunning early-morning flight. From the air, you will soak in a bird's eye views of Greater Brisbane, including Ipswich, with its cute Queenslander homes and historic civic buildings. However, the city quickly melts away to be replaced by a patchwork field of farmland, wineries and homesteads, plus rich outback areas with acres of cattle, lakes and dams. All of this is set against the spectacular backdrop of the Great Dividing Range mountains. Your bird's-eye view of the landscape grants you breathtaking vistas of the Greater Brisbane region including Flinders Peak, Mt. Walker, McPherson ranges and Mt. Tamborine. Keep looking and you'll see Moreton Bay, the skyline of Brisbane, Mount Coot-tha, the D'Aguilar Range, Wivenhoe Dam, the Brisbane, Fassifern and Lockyer valleys and the Brisbane and Bremer Rivers. This is the closest hot air balloon company to Brisbane and the longest founding owner-operated in the South East Queensland region. Every flight is taken by the owner and chief pilot Graeme Day, who has 30+ years of ballooning experience and loves to share his passion for ballooning. Graeme's deep knowledge of the local region, humour and storytelling make his in-flight commentary both informative and entertaining. After your flight, it's time to indulge in a delicious breakfast at Fourthchild Cafe Restaurant, who serve up Campos coffee for your wake-up caffeine hit.
