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 the 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 is running from the beginning of June until the end of
September, during the Australian Winter. Flights of 4-5 hours covering over
100 km are possible.
