Incredible Air Sports to Try in Australia
Whether you’re a tourist looking for unique ways to take in the country’s stunning landscape, or a local adrenaline junkie searching for new thrills, Australia’s air sports scene has something for everyone! Here are five exciting ways to experience being airborne down under.
1. Sydney Hang Gliding Centre
Sports Center
The Sydney Hang Gliding Centre is a perfect choice for those that want to survey the Australian landscape from above, but a prefer a slightly smoother alternative. For the premium price of AU$275 (UK£158), groups can opt to fly from world-renowned hang-gliding site ‘Bald Hill’ Stanwell Park from 7.30am onwards, any day of the week. The flight time is approximately 30 minutes, giving you ample time to take in the picturesque Illawarra coast. First-time fliers will be relieved to know that the experience is well supervised and quite literally hands-on. Each session involves a lesson, and even a chance to help the instructor assemble the hang-glider.
