Adventure ballooning is flying 'over the horizon'. It may be your personal 'horizon' or somewhere no one has gone before.

Lake Mungo is a dry lake in the desert of New South Wales about 100 km north east of Mildura, Victoria.

At the end of the 1996 Australian National
 Championships a small group of balloonists made the trek from Mildura for an afternoon flight over the lake and the clay cliffs of the "Walls of China" on the eastern edge of the dry lake landing at sunset.

THE SNOWY MOUNTAINS, 
JINDABYNE -
NEW SOUTH WALES

Jindabyne is a winter ski resort on the eastern slopes of the Australian Alps (The Snowy Mountains)

Lake Jindabyne, a huge reservoir dams the Snowy River and diverting its water through huge tunnels to inland irrigation and hydro-electric power dams of the Snowy Mountains Hydroelectric Scheme on the western side of the mountains.

The Australian Alps may not be so high as their European namesakes but they are a major challenge for the hot air balloonist.
