Discover Ipswich Magazine 2019

Written by Ashley Dobson, photographer | DiscoverIpswich.com.au 14

Ashley Dobson is a Brisbane-based photographer and social media influencer who grew up in the US but has called Queensland home for several years. She says living in Australia inspired her to pick up a camera – and the results speak for themselves.

This was such a wicked experience!

I’ll be completely honest with you, I’m really scared of heights so I was a bit iffy at first, but there wasn’t one moment where I felt unsafe up in the air. We were floating for a good hour and the serenity was unreal. It’s a family run business with flights available daily from Ipswich. We float over the region and into the neighbouring Scenic Rim and Somerset areas with glimpses of the Brisbane skyline on the horizon as the sun comes up. For the complete experience you can order a package that includes breakfast and gift vouchers are also available. The 4.00 am wake up was totally worth it to be able to witness the sunrise from the air as we floated over the land. Experiences like this remind me how lucky I am to live in a country as beautiful as this. I highly recommend it if you haven’t done it!
