The
Great Australian Balloon Long Jump Based on
the British and American Long Jump events, The Great Australian Balloon Long Jump
is an annual nationwide ballooning competition. Balloonists from all over Australia
compete to see who can fly furthest using only 150 litres of propane. Flights
take place anywhere in Australia, allowing each competitor to choose their own
time and place to fly. To allow for extended flights, the competition this year
will run from the beginning of July to the end of September, during the Australian Winter.
Flights of 4-5 hours
covering over 100 km are possible. For details of
