The Year has flown just like us. New Years Eve already and what a magnificent flight we had to mark the end of the year. The wether was perfect and views just like a post card. Breakfast at the Radisson topped off the morning with just a few champagnes to start the celebrations. Happy New Year everyone and we will see you next year.

Author: Gold Coast Hot Air Balloon Rides - www.balloonaloft.net, December 24, 2009

Take off zone was next to Bond Uni and the reflection of the 2 balloons taking off over Lake Orr was a sight to see. It was another full load in the Balloons Aloft balloons with plenty of chatter and conversation for all 34 of our guests. The views of the lakes and canals of the Gold Coast are amazing from the air and a site all should see. Landing zone was at Palm Meadows before we headed off for a Christmas breakfast at the Radisson. Wishing you all a very merry Christmas and safe New Year.

What a magnificent flight over the Gold Coast. The views were to die for of the blue sparking ocean and lush green hinterland. The only way to get such a breath taking site of the two is float over the Gold Coast in our hot air balloon.
