WELCOME TO THE WONDERFUL WORLD OF BALLOONING

Balloon Montage  

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. We are here until to early April, phone us now so you don't miss out!  Check our vacancies page.

  IT'S EASY. BUY A GIFT VOUCHER ON-LINE

American Express, Visa and Mastercard can be used to buy our gift vouchers on line.

We use 128-bit SSL high-encryption to protect your personal information and credit card details. It is the world-wide industry standard for the encryption and protection of private transmissions via the internet.

The payment page is hosted by Westpac Bank to enable real time credit card payments. No record of your credit card number is made at any time. Indeed, we will never even see your credit card number. The system is extraordinarily secure. Even more secure than having your credit card swiped in a retail store where a hard copy of your voucher number is retained.

After your payment has been made, you will receive a receipt and confirmation of your payment. In turn, we will receive an email summary of your order, and will generally process it within a few hours of receipt.
