travels in Australia by balloon

 I was delighted to learn that I could go on a hot air balloon ride while I was in Australia.  I have wanted to do this for a long time.  Here are views of other balloons seen from our balloon and one view of the ground as we were lifting off. We flew high and low and saw kangaroos hopping around in the wild.  I expected it to be a very exciting experience and it was but it was really more serene and relaxing; very quiet when our pilot wasn't firing up the balloon. We were up for about 45 minutes floating over the high plain of north-eastern Australia inland from the Great Barrier Reef.  More about that another day.  I would go up in a balloon again any time.
