Today I woke up as early as 5am because I wanted to go and have a look at the Hot air ballon festival which was held at the Commonwealth Park in Canberra (the lawn opposite the old Parliment House). We managed to get there in time before those hot air ballons were set up and watched sun rise which only occurs once every blue moon for me!!
At normal times, you could barely see so many people in Canberra. There are 3 occasions that I know Canberra would be full with people are Hot Air Ballon Festival, Sky Fire, and Floriade. I wondered where those crowd of people come from.
Laying out those cloth like hot air ballon top
The old man was trying to turn on the FIRE!!
Inflating the hot air ballon
Yes, half done, half to go
Did you see the crowd?
Call the number behind if you wish to go on a hot air ballon
More hot air ballons
Capital Chemist, the place I go when I feel sick, instead of the doctor.
(You will understand why if you made an appointment with Canberra's doctor)
Me and Bee Teent
Me only.
More on the setting up of Kangaroo look hot air ballon
Chinese so called people mountain people sea
Hurray, an orange Kangaroo with its children in her pocket
A brown kangaroo, maybe is the previous kangaroo's husband. LOL
Oh no... fire is burning the kangaroo's bottom!!
Did you see how bright the sun was? Huh, massive UV ray.
I am so close to the kangaroo... I am such a small peanut compared to the hot air ballon.
Yan Liang was the organizer of this trip. His friends came over from Melbourne to visit him.
They are twins. OMG, first ever twins that I know after I came over to Canberra.
Colourful hot air ballon. Love it!!
LOL. The kangaroos are kissing!!
Time to finish. Some of the hot air ballon are undergoing deflation!!
This time there wasn't a lot of hot air ballons shown because I think it is just day 1 of the festival. There should be more different kinds of hot air ballons shown for the following week and hopefully, the weather will be better in future. We were quite lucky because it did not rain for the whole day yesterday. Such nice weather to hang out with friends and relax!!
