We have just come home from a very successful week at the Canowindra International Balloon Challenge. Not only was this the first unveiling of the new balloon, but it is the biggest ballooning competition on the Australian ballooning calendar.
After 6 days of competition (flying every morning), Team Robbo and Balloony McBalloonface finished in 2nd place overall. This is a fantastic result, considering the winner of the event was Johnny Petrehn from the US, who is a 2 times World Champion and is currently ranked 7th in the World. The team also beat the current Australian and French champions.
Here is a video of some of the action on one day.
The weather was spectacular all week, so there was plenty of opportunities to get amazing photos of Balloon McBalloonface. So rather than writing more words, we will let the pictures do the talking.
