The team here at Aunty Monkey wish all of the competitors and their crews in the World Championships in Battle Creek the best of luck.Being a international site we wish everyone to do well but if that cant happen then we hope the Aussie team of Robertson, Wright and Dattler do the best.  No bias here though!Seriously though, there are a lot of auntymonkey members at the event, not sure how many though so if you could post names of all AM members you know are going it would be fantastic to see…See More

About Me:
I have been ballooning since I was 8. I was involved back in the early days of AM when I was young and beautiful. I then got a bit serious and became pres of the ABF for a while. Have since been regressing to my younger more foolish days. I have built 2 balloons in the last few years that are now my regular means to get high.

A reminder to all members

Hi everyone



We have had this conversation before but it seems a reminder is needed.



AM is a place for all balloonists to come together and to connect with like minded people around the World. It is not a place for attacking other members, personal vendettas or any similar post wether you think its warranted or not.



As much as we hate to eject members (unless they are spammers, then we love it!) Any member who uses this forum for the purposes above will be removed from… Continue

One less Old Timer - Bert Cox

Hi All

Its with sadness I let you all know of the passing of one of the real characters in Aussie ballooning, Bert Cox.

Bert died in hospital after a run in with the big C.

Bert will be remembered for many things, his faithful yellow overalls, the battered Troopy that had been everywhere, his flowing wiskers, his booming voice, and his great sense of humour.

Most of all he will be remembered for his passion for the sport in all its…

Profile Photos - Important - Please Read

Hi Everyone



Most of you will have seen the site has been getting hit by more and more spammers in the recent months.



One of the issues in maintaining the site is it is often difficult to tell who are the genuine members and those who are not.



One of the areas we have identified is the profile photos. Most of the spammers who join do not upload a profile picture.



As a result we are asking all members to update their profiles and add a profile picture. This is… Continue

Hello Adam,
We are staying at the caravan park on Yanco Ave, glad to know there will be others there as well. We have already booked a site. Looking forward to it. Not long to go.

It's kind of happening. Being a non rice festival year there are no funds forthcoming and not having any moola to organise anything makes it trickier than usual :-)

Hey Adam, are you and your gang going to join us on Friday for Chinese? There's nowhere else open - even the pubs are shut on Good Friday :-( Only $10/head!!

No worries - you can leave your balloon here - I'll take good care of it (laughing deviously). I might even be able to find a spot in a shed somewhere.
