Windward Balloon Adventures

Dawn hot-air balloon flights over Western Australia's Avon Valley, near Northam, drifting above farmland, river and the surrounding ranges as the sun comes up. The operator has been flying the region since 1982, making it one of WA's most established balloon outfits. Flights depend on the weather and are booked in advance, with an online booking option on the site. A quiet, high-vantage way to take in the wheatbelt country east of Perth.
