Rise before the day begins and watch first light spread across the Central Australian outback. As you drift above the desert landscape, keep an eye out for red kangaroos and take in the vast views below. Once back on solid ground, you may become involved in assisting the crew as they pack the nylon balloon away or capture the moment with photographs, the choice is yours.
