Red Balloon! Thoughts?

[JohnK]

I only found out about Red Balloon the other day when I received a gift certificate.

Any recommendations? It can be in Sydney or Brisbane and definitely has to be tame and not life threatening. No skydiving, abseiling etc.

I was thinking a harbour cruise or a game of golf.

And also the gift certificate is for $150 so can I think I can book more than one experience and then pay the difference.

I've given as gifts many times. Some great things to enjoy on there

You seem to love golf, but I'm guessing you've done a lot of really exciting stuff in that area. My Dad loved the Golf Simulator in Melbourne, which for a budding golfer he loved.

There is a nice harbour cruise with lunch on there which is great value....In room Massage, Cooking class, or even a recording session?

You can think what you like John, just don't say it here or you might get flamed! Only joking

Oh, and Happy Birthday.

Oh, and Happy Birthday.

Oh! Not my birthday. At least not yet....

Gee, you get a $150 gift certificate and it's not even your birthday! Well done.

So I guess an acrobatic flight is out? They are a hoot!

We recently gave a gift of a light aircraft instructional flight at Camden-was well received & great experience apparently

Right place at the right time.

Is that a flight full of acrobats?

Yeh, it's a bit like a mini full of clowns =P

FWIW I booked lunch for 2 at the Summit restaurant in Sydney and a family pass to Penrith putt-putt and paid a few dollars more than the voucher value.

I will more than likely take dad to lunch for his next birthday.

Woolies have three x $50 cards on special for $112.50 this week.

The booking fee is too high. From memory it was $7.95 per booking. Can you use more than 1 $50 card per booking? Otherwise you are paying that fee 3x times.
