You are quite correct Charles, an annual event in country NSW.
The best way by far to see the sights, just very early starts.

I would love to do that someday. I have just never had the chance.

Same with me.
I could have done it over California's Napa Valley many years ago,
but weather and other conditions conspired against me at the time.
I've not had a similar opportunity since. :cry:

20-30 years ago I used to see an occasional balloon fly near my home but I have not seen any balloons really since then. Even then it was maybe 3 or 4 balloons per summer. Not very many at all.

The Canowindra festival is a solid 5 hour drive from home but we make a camping weekend of it. Not everyones cup of tea but well worth the effort and time.
It is also a leg of the world ballooning series. I hope you guys can get the opportunities to view and ride. It is bucket list stuff.
Cheers
Rossco

I used to ride/drive across the Michigan state from Grand Rapids to Detroit-area suburbs, seeing the balloons sometimes
during summertime. It wasn't until fairly recently that I understood what it was about.
Occasionally it was one or two balloons; other times it was dozens.
I was always mesmerized by the spectacle of it, as it's something you don't witness often.

It's worth a closer look if you can get up close to the action of launch/landing.

This I have never been around or seen other than on the tube.

I've been there once Charles, and I'm dying to go back.
It's an amazing experience, even if you're just standing on the ground.
