Ok, cheeky, but you know how we keep saying Mansfield is super special? It’s one of the very few places in Australia with a microclimate stable enough to enable consistent afternoon balloon flights over winter. When you experience these stunning ambient conditions yourself, you’ll understand what we mean. Available May to the end of September (morning flights available year-round).
