Northam skies come alive for National Hot Air Ballooning Championships

The skies of Northam will be filled with hot air balloons for the 23rd time in accordance with the annual National Ballooning Championships this weekend!

Competition flight tasks require pilots to exercise skill in manoeuvring their balloons over a set course with goals, targets, scoring areas, time and distance limits.

Commercial balloon pilot Donna Tasker calls in live while flying a hot air balloon to talk to Damon Sutton on Breakfast about the National Ballooning Championships as part of The Shire of Northam’s Elate Festival.
