WELCOME TO THE WONDERFUL WORLD OF BALLOONING
This is the website of Goldrush Ballooning Pty. Ltd., trading as Bendigo Ballooning in Victoria, Adelaide Ballooning in South Australia, and Tassie Ballooning in Tasmania.
Weather permitting, we fly all year round in Victoria and South Australia, and in February, March and early April each year in Tasmania.
To check availability, go
to our vacancies table. In terms of strike rate, balloon flights in Victoria and South Australia are better done in Autumn
and early Winter than in Spring and Summer. Although a good day is good
at any time, we lose more flights in Spring and Summer to strong winds,
rain, high ambient temperatures and total fire bans than we lose in Autumn
and Winter to fog, wind and rain.
Summer in central VICTORIA, the flying prospects are
quite variable. Phone us for advice, see also our operational
limits .
In SOUTH AUSTRALIA, we
are based at Strathalbyn.
Summer flying in Strathalbyn is also unpredictable. The weather can change surprisingly quickly
though, so phone us for best information
In TASMANIA, we're based in Longford, south-west of Launceston. Ballooning in Tasmania is seasonal.
The 2009 season has started, we are in Tassie now and taking bookings. We
have already completed several flights. Check our vacancies
page.
