Your Adventure Starts With Us - Global Ballooning Australia (Melbourne & Yarra Valley Flights)
It’s a wonderful thing, to be able to give someone the experience of a lifetime. At Global Ballooning Australia, we’ve shared a sunrise with over 90,000 people over 25 years. We’re proud of our safety record, and we care deeply about our guests’ experience, but for us, it’s about the people we meet along the way and the pristine natural playground we call our office.
Global Ballooning Australia’s Director – a Pilot and ballooning champion; Kiff Saunders, has 35 years aviation experience. Kiff is Victoria's most experienced balloonist having flown for over 27 years in over 10 countries around the world (including 3 World Ballooning Championships). He’s even been inducted into the Australian Ballooning Federation Hall of Fame (bet you didn’t know that was a thing), is responsible for training many of the commercial hot air balloon pilots flying in Victoria and holds the 'Absolute Australian Altitude Record' for hot air ballooning.
Operating 364 days a year, we rise before the sun almost every day over Melbourne city and the Yarra Valley because we believe there’s something magical about experiencing the world from the sky. It starts with an alarm; that familiar shrill that drags you from bed and dares you to meet the dawn. Your adventure starts before the city stirs. Birdsong begins as balloons inflate and you find yourself drawn to the heat of the flame. As the earth falls away, you rise with the sun. There’s no need to travel far, and no better way to see the world’s most liveable city - Melbourne. For an hour, it’s just you and the sky. Some prefer the scenic route to the Yarra Valley, traversing roads through gnarly vineyards and misty farms until a landscape worthy of silence appears.
Nothing excites us more than bringing out a child-like joy in adults and a sense of wonderment in children. It’s all part of a journey that’s finished by 9am, but leaves a lifelong impression.

MAGICAL HOT AIR BALLON RIDE ABOVE YARRA VALLEY

We all have a bucket list to some kind of extent. If not consciously then at least subconsciously. And one of those all-time ever timeless bucket list items is of course going on a hot air balloon ride. And that's why we had to try it, and where better to do it than above the magical Yarra Valley, which is only 50 minutes away from Melbourne by the way.
Going on a hot air balloon is no joke if you are terrible at getting up in the morning. And that is something we both are, but the excitement of riding a hot air balloon was so great that we had no problem getting up at 2.30 am in order to meet at the Yarra Lodge 4.30 sharp.
The whole experience was 10/10. We felt safe and the hot air balloon staff of Picture This was both competent and kind.
We honestly cannot recommend enough going on a hot air balloon ride. It is not hyped. It is absolutely marvellous and something everybody should experience before Grim Reaper says hi.

Find Yourself - Melbourne's Yarra Valley & Dandenong Ranges
Find Yourself is the latest campaign for the Yarra Valley and Dandenong Ranges, stunning destinations just one hour’s drive east of Melbourne.
The evocative imagery invites people to explore these regions and uncover the rich tapestry of products, places and faces that abound across the Yarra Valley and throughout the Dandenong Ranges.
Along with the new campaign imagery, destination websites have also been launched which enable the discovery of trails and experiences; a quick four hour city escape, a romantic getaway or the ultimate long weekend for the food and wine lover.
Imagine an early morning balloon flight, rising through the mists of the valley and seeing the beauty unfold beneath you, followed by a close encounter with nature of another kind, upfront and personal with a platypus at Healesville Sanctuary. Lunch on the deck of TarraWarra, wine and cider experiences along the Coldstream trail and a final stop at the chocolaterie for a much anticipated sweet treat on the way back to your home away from home for the weekend, perhaps one of many beautiful bed and breakfast the area offers.
If it’s the hills you’re after, then head up the Dandenong Ranges on the scenic winding roads and discover the wonderful villages and communities scattered amongst the trees. Artist studios, tea rooms, antiques and crafts and beautiful cool climate gardens are all part of the discovery.
All these experiences and more feature on a number of illustrated trail maps that help visitors plan their trip. Whether it’s James Halliday’s Handpicked Yarra Valley trail, the Cider and Ale Trail, a Cool Climate Garden Trail or the Madden’s Lane Winery Trail, each path provides a rich experience for visitors with old and new discoveries just waiting to be found.
The Yarra Valley and Dandenong Ranges are dynamic regions with wonderful local operators who are constantly evolving the visitor experience. Whether it’s breathtaking scenery, absorbing culinary adventures, making your own dessert, creating your own cheese, getting involved in the beer brewing process or just spending time up close and personal with nature, there are many reasons to revisit these destinations right on Melbourne’s door step. Some of the new venues include:
Royalty and refinement at Coombe Cottage, the home of Dame Nellie Melba, with magnificent gardens from W.R. Guilfoyle, the same designer of the Royal Botanic Gardens
GelAperia is not only serving some of the best natural, house-made gelato in Victoria, owner Davydd Marrie is also hosting hands-on gelato making classes
The Independent in Gembrook is a converted mechanics warehouse, now serving delicious Argentinian dishes by highly-respected 5 star chef, Mauro Callegari
Napoleone Brewery and Ciderhouse - a working microbrewery where visitors can fully experience the beer making process behind the scenes from a third generation brewing family
Cake-making with best-selling author and pastry chef, Alison Thompson at Stones of the Yarra Valley is a delightful way to spend an afternoon, before sharing your freshly made cake with friends and family
Hands-on cooking classes with Locavore Studios. Learn to make cheese, design a dinner party or make the perfect martini with special guests Four Pillars Gin. Classes vary and include local produce
Along with the new, old favourites continue to provide an exceptional way to escape city life, with ongoing investment preserving the beauty of the region, new recipes and additional experiences including:
New head chef Zoe Birch serving exquisite food at Healesville Hotel’s renowned Quince dining room
Exploring the beautiful gardens and villages in the iconic Dandenong Ranges
Appreciating world-class wines with lunch at Oakridge Wines
Relaxing and taking in the view on the new expansive deck at TarraWarra Estate
Or sampling the wide range of specially-made beers available at Hargreaves Hill Brewery
Visitors to the region need as little as four hours to start to unwind and feel they have escaped the city. Those with more time on their hands can choose to build more lasting memories with an extended stay to explore any number of opportunities to relax, enjoy award-winning food and indulge in rare experiences.
There is also an opportunity for those seeking the essential urban escape to win the ultimate experience for two. The winners will find themselves enjoying all the region has to offer at first hand, including helicopter transfers from Melbourne CBD, a balloon ride at sunrise, a private winery tour and two night’s luxury accommodation at Balgownie Estate Vineyard Resort & Spa.

ITV & The Great Australian Balloon Adventure
Stephen Tompkinson, from Wild at Heart fame, has completed his travels in the ITV series the African Balloon Adventure and now it's Australia's turn.
Stephen with his pilot Robin Batchelor have come to film the next TV series and Picture This Ballooning was there to help out, both with flight services and logistics.
There were two places that were on the list.
1. The junction of the Murray and Darling Rivers
2. Melbourne's Sporting Precinct (the MCG, Rod Laver Arena, Old Olympic Park, AAMI stadium)
This is not always as easy as it seems as hot air balloons are completely dependent on wind and accuracy requires a lot of expertise.
Our own Paul Gibbs assisted with Daisy (as they call their balloon) and with Pete flying beside them for a video/photography platform they flew directly over the MCG as planned.
So how does Australia stack up against Africa?
After flying over Melbourne Stephen said, I was like a kid in a candy shop. It was a flight that I will remember for the rest of my days.
