Every year for a week in March, Canberra hosts a Balloon Spectacular. Upwards of 30 hot air balloons launch from the grounds of Old Parliament House. AS well as the fun, colourful balloons in the traditional waterdrop balloon shape, there are always some fancy shaped balloons. This year it includes a hummingbird, frog and heart.
One of the most memorable is the hot air balloon commissioned by Canberra for the cities 100th birthday…Skywhale.
