CANBERRA BALLOON FESTIVAL MAR 6-9TH 2021

We had a fantastic time again on what has become an annual trip for us to Canberra for their Balloon Festival.

Ballooning is extremely weather dependent, and unfortunately the weather on the ground isn’t always a great indication of what is happening up higher in the sky, and sometimes the balloons do not launch.

We were there for the first 4 mornings, and we were lucky to have all sorts of weather to add to the experience.

We were also treated to some amazing settings with the star character balloon of 2021, Alycorn, the Pink Unicorn. (No, not Skywhalepappa…)

With over 1,000 pictures taken, the following selection is some of the best from 2021 !!

CANBERRA BY LIGHTS - MAR 2021

On Friday 5th March at 8pm, with our trusted old 85’ Brown Jayco, we set off from home on the Mornington Peninsula headed for Canberra.

At 6:30am on the morning of Saturday 6th March, I was parking in the Treasury Building car park, Canberra.

From Friday 26th February until Sunday 14th March 2021, Canberra held their annual ‘Enlighten Festival’. They light up a number of the Capitals iconic buildings with projectors, and have special food tents and a number of festival shows running over this time. (more details can be found on the ‘ENLIGHTEN FESTIVAL’ fb page)

The following pictures were taken over the nights of Saturday, Sunday and Monday, as I toured around Canberra at night.

Special thanks goes to the kids that made my night, on Monday 8th, when they asked if I could take their pictures while swinging their LED light sabers…. Guys, you were fantastic, and I hope you like the pictures. (‘Contact me’ with your details if you want the copies)

It’s been a busy week, and there are pictures of the balloons coming soon.
