Floating Images the perfect gift Give a special memory that will last a lifetime
G
raeme Day loves nothing more than sharing his passion with others and helping them to create incredible memories. 22 years ago, he and wife Ruth started Floating Images, the first and only balloon company to offer a unique city and country flight in the South East Queensland region, taking in views of Ipswich, Scenic Rim and Somerset in Greater Brisbane. His passion for hot air ballooning was born in the Alsace region of France three decades ago, and his love for it is matched only by his passion for crafting the perfect experience for customers. Whether it’s bucket lists, Christmas gifts, proposals or team building exercises, Graeme says it has been a joy spending the past 22 years taking to the skies and getting to know customers while serenely floating on a gentle breeze at sunrise. The unusual combination of relaxation
and exhilaration leaves guests with plenty to talk about, not just at the post-flight breakfast, but for the rest of their lives. Graeme’s intimate local knowledge and incredible understanding of all things hot air ballooning are part of the service, with plenty of jokes and banter thrown in for free. The personal, boutique service is a cornerstone for the business, and Graeme says they have no intentions of expanding
beyond their current capacity, because that would mean compromising on what makes Floating Images special. The maximum on any flight is 10 people, and Graeme says it is one of the reasons people love flying with Floating Images. It’s a strategy that has paid off, with the business collecting accolades from individuals and tourism groups alike, including being awarded with Tripadvisor’s
Traveller’s Choice (formerly the Certificate of Excellence) eight times. The experience begins 45 minutes before sunrise with preparing the balloon and a safety briefing before rising some 800m into the morning air to enjoy spectacular views. After pointing out the sights, Graeme brings guests back down to the ground to enjoy a beautiful breakfast at Ipswich’s Fourthchild Cafe. “Once you take off, you can see 40 to 50km,” Graeme says. “If the timing is right, you can even see the windows sparkling like diamonds in Toowoomba. It’s great scenery and it’s always changing.” While plenty of guests have special occasions to celebrate in the skies, a hot-air balloon flight also makes an unforgettable gift. “Christmas is coming up, so if you’re looking for the perfect Christmas gift, this is something special and will be a memory for the rest of their life,” he says To find out more about hot air balloon experiences with Floating Images, visit floatingimages.com.au or call 3294 8770.
