More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You step out of the hangar into pre-dawn cool and watch the crew lay the envelope across the grass. Flames stitch heat into fabric; the balloon lifts like a slowly opening flower, and before the sun clears the horizon you are slipping free of the ground. Below, patchwork fields, meandering creeks and the thin silver line of the Avon River unroll; birds wheel and a distant farm dog barks as your basket drifts east with the morning.

Wildlife
History
The Avon Valley follows the Avon River and sits on lands long occupied by Noongar peoples; European settlement in the 1800s established farming that shapes the region today.
Conservation

Arrive Early and Expect Dark
Meet at the hangar before dawn—crew will transfer you to the launch site and begin inflation in low light, so allow time for check-in and transfers.
Weight & Health Are Important
Operators require weights and won’t recommend flights for pregnant guests or those with serious heart or spinal conditions—declare medical constraints when booking.
Dress in Layers and Wear Closed-Toe Shoes
Dawn can be chilly and launch/landing areas are uneven; wear warm layers and sturdy footwear for stable footing.
Weather-Dependent Operations
Flights may be postponed for unsafe wind or visibility—plan a buffer day in your itinerary and check cancellation/refund windows.
Layered clothing (fleece + wind shell)
Morning temperatures are cooler than on the ground; layers let you adjust as the sun rises.
Closed-toe, sturdy shoes
Launch and landing often occur on grass or paddocks—solid footing reduces slip risk.
Camera or smartphone with strap
Early light is excellent for photos; secure your device against sudden gusts.
Small daypack
Carry water, ID, and a light snack; large bags are inconvenient during boarding.
