25.01.2022 Happy Montgolfier Day for yesterday! 237 years since the first manned flight by Pilâtre de Rozier and the marquis d'Arlandes on 21st November 1783. The balloon was designed by the Montgolfier brothers.

23.01.2022 Great flying weather for the weekend ahead. 9 knot northerly aloft and 4 deg C on the surface with little cloud forecast for our Mansfield flight this Saturday. Sunday's forecast for our King Valley flight is also excellent. And we have last-minute places available!

23.01.2022 The wonderful spring continues in northeast Victoria with green crops and overflowing watercourses . This first shot is looking north along the King River and its billabongs with Prosecco Road on the left. Last Sunday’s southerly conditions saw us launch both balloons at Moyhu and fly to Wangaratta in perfect conditions. The High Country to our east and south looked spectacular as always with the King Valley's pristine vineyards below. After a gentle drag landing, it was back to Brown Brothers for a delicious Prosecco Breakfast

22.01.2022 Spring is nearly here! This weekend's beautiful weather in the High Country has us dreaming of sunny King Valley mornings past and those to come. In a couple of weeks we'll be flying again, something our team loves to share. We trust the good weather is bringing you optimism too

21.01.2022 We are honoured our King Valley Flight is being featured by Ultimate Winery Experiences Australia. It's still a secret to some that the King Valley is one of the 3 great wine valleys in Australia to experience by balloon, so our appreciation goes to Ultimate Winery Experiences for helping to share the King Valley Ballooning story. Naturally, we agree that a spectacular flight across the King Valley followed by a Prosecco Breakfast at Brown Brothers Milawa is an Ultimate Win...ery Experience #ultimatewineries #GoldrushBallooningAustralia #KingValleyLove #Ballooning #BrownBrothers #SeeHighCountry #TourismAustralia Beautiful balloon images by Andrew Chapman.

21.01.2022 A slow pass over Brown Brothers Milawa vineyard is our favourite flight beginning as their airfield is a great place to launch. A little fog with clear blue skies above is usual at this time of year. Our next scheduled flight is Sunday 2nd August if you’d like to join us. Thanks to Andrew Chapman for this great shot

20.01.2022 We love seeing snowon the Victorian High Country! From Milawa on a clear day, the alps look magic behind Mount Buffalo. In our Mansfield flying area, the snow-covered Mount Buller is even closer. You will find us flying throughout winter as we enjoy some beautiful flying weather at this time of year. #dontforgettheglovesandbeanies

15.01.2022 Flying from Goorambat oval this morning. Crops look fantastic and the High Country to our east beckons. Gotta love northeast Victoria

14.01.2022 A little of last Friday’s King Valley ballooning action

13.01.2022 It's September & YES we are FLYING. Sunday was our first flight back with regional Victoria's reopening. Shepparton passenger Naggini was celebrating her birthday with the gift of a flight from husband Nanda. Saturday's Antarctic blast eased and delivered glorious conditions the following morning for our flight. Mount Buffalo and the High Country was snow-covered. There was a brisk southerly aloft which saw us launch at Moyhu and track the 20kms to Milawa for a stand-up landing.

12.01.2022 Mount Buffalo was looking majestic on this recent King Valley flight. As you can see winter provides us with some beautiful conditions including golden sunrises, velvety layers of fog, and crystal clear air, . . . . and the vineyards always look great from aloft. Even Alegra our balloon dog was enjoying the crisp conditions.

We flew more than 20km from Barwite to Delatite before the unsettled weather came in. After breakfast, our guests continued the celebration with Expresso Martinis at Mansfield Coffee Merchant

07.01.2022 Cockatoos are just some of the parrots we share the skies with in northeast Victoria. They don’t mind balloons flying by and very active first thing. We recently took these shots on a flight to Moyhu.
