Balloons Over Brisbane

Is Great Fun! We offer a spectacular balloon ride.

A memory that will last forever. All flights are at dawn and as you float above the city, it is often possible to see as far off as the magnificent Glasshouse Mountains; to the fabulous Gold Coast and out to the islands of Moreton Bay, while not forgetting an 'awakening metropolis' underneath!
So don't forget to bring your camera or video.

BIRTHDAY OVER BRISBANE - A Poem by Long John Best

A BIRTHDAY OVER BRISBANE

Sirromet at Sunrise 1

Oh I thought I knew Brisbane, but saw nothing at all,
Til I hung high above it, with Captain Will Paul.
In this big wicker basket, below, his balloon,
sixty years for my first flight, I'll be back here soon.

Sirromet at Sunrise 2

Oh so gentle the take off beguiling the ride,
As up, up and away o'er leafed suburbs we glide,
and so peaceful their passing, one thinks "I'm a bird,"
Just the oohs and the ahhs and the burner is heard.

Sirromet at Sunrise 3

As the new day is dawning, below us I see
all the hurry and scurry of people like me,
not to-day though; I'm special, not one of the crowd,
for I'm drifting and dreaming, I'm kissing a cloud.

Sirromet at Sunrise 4

It's a gift from my children, the best I've had yet,
It's a most pleasant present, I'll not soon forget,
oh this feeling, uplifting, we're having a ball,
with Balloons Over Brisbane, and Captain Will Paul.
