Hot air balloons off course over Goodna and Redbank

Three hot air ballons gave the residents of Goodna and Redbank a surprise this morning with a low-level flight over the suburbs.

They were from "Balloons over Brisbane" but this morning they became balloons over Ipswich.

One balloon almost touched down near the Ipswich Motorway at Redbank before coming close to houses at Bridge Street Redbank, eventually crossing the Brisbane River and landing safely at Moggill.

The other two balloons landed in perfect condition near the Railway Workshops at Redbank.

Brisbane Terrace Goodna this morning.
