10 March 2014: Fantastic, brilliant, excellent, hilarious, loads of laughs, what a wonderful experience. The atmosphere was sensational, everyone was laughing, the mood was one of sheer excitement as the pilots turned on a spectacular flying performance. Balloons were casually basket dragging their way across the lake while taking the time out to have a chat to a crowd of kayakers and paddle boarders who were on the water hoping to have a close up experience. The balloon festival has been absolutely brilliant, I sincerely hope you have the opportunity to experience it.

What an awesome experience, what a fantastic festival, what a brilliant atmosphere.

All the warning signs were there…Balloon frenzy is about to commence.


The Unicef balloon decided to have a closer view of the National Museum.

There was a hint of gold on the horizon this morning


How good is this…Canberra you’ve done it again.

Drifting into a gorgeous sunrise.

The kayakers and paddle boarders had an awesome close up experience.

The Capital Chemist balloon piloted by Justin was a huge draw card on the water.


Love the silhouettes
