A kayak’s eye view of the Balloon Spectacular

“KAYAKCAMERAMAN” Paul Jurak has sent in a wonderful spread of photographs from this year’s hot air ballooning jamboree over Lake Burley Griffin with these words:

What an amazing balloon spectacular it has been. I have been dragged by hot air balloon drifting on the waters of LBG and I have had a multitude balloons floating by the nose of my kayak. This has been one of the best events I have experienced!

It has been such a wonderful experience. We have one of the best locations as this event provides the balloonist’s the opportunity to put on a stunning display. The crowds can easily line the shore lines and see this spectacular for so many different angles, whether it be from the shoreline or a water perspective….. and just think, it’s all happens right on our front door step and it totally free.

Doesn’t get any better than this!
