Flinders Ranges

Outback Ballooning has added another great reason to visit the Flinders Ranges – South Australia’s accessible outback.

The beauty and complex landforms of the Wilpena Pound area can only be truly appreciated from the air.  Why not add romance and a blend of adventure and tranquillity to your aerial view of the Flinders by experiencing it from an Outback balloon?

Get to know your pilot, crew and fellow adventurers during the short pre-dawn drive to your launch site of the day.  Float gently across the vast expanse of the Australian Outback – keeping an eye out for native wildlife – and watch the morning light bathe the hills and ramparts.   You might choose to be involved in the brief preparation as the balloon is inflated and made ready to lift you gently above the countryside.

Once in the air the balloon floats as a perfect viewing platform with no turbulence, vibration or noise – other than the occasional reassuring roar of the burner.

After returning safely to land and some fun packing the balloon back into its bag enjoy a light breakfast of exotic slices, muesli, cheese and biscuits accompanied by sparkling Australian wine or fruit juice. Back at home base you will receive your Flight Certificate to commemorate the occasion.

We meet at Rawnsley Park Station on the main Wilpena road 35km north of Hawker.  Meeting is 1 hour before sunrise – the exact time will be confirmed when you book.  You will be with us for approximately 4 hours depending upon where we land. You will be driven back to Rawnsley Park from the landing site.
