Heli Experiences Incentives

The wild kangaroos on the property are exciting to watch as they jump past in large mobs of up to 100’s.Arriving by Helicopter, guests can be on the ground at Coliban Park within 30 minutes maximising precious leisure time.

Our helicopters in the paddock at coliban park.

Duncan and Jess Barber are the hosts for this very special International tourism experience, seen above in the shearing shed, where their raref lock of extra fine merino sheep provide the finest grade fleeces for export.

For the international tourist, Coliban Park has it all, Up close and personal on this working sheep station of almost 10,000 acres, inbound guests are greeted with tea and cake in the formal sitting room of the historic homestead with welcoming chats with the Barber family. Then it’s off for a one on one sheep shearing demonstration and simply stunning wild kangaroo experience. Then a gourmet lunch in the homestead and perhaps some more kangaroo spotting form the helicopter before heading back to Melbourne. It’s unique, very Australian and it’s the real thing, this is more than a tourism visit, this is making new friends in a classic Australian setting.

Real life hard working sheep dogs at Coliban Park are a delight to watch.

“Many thanks for the adventure of the heli ride over Melbourne last weekend. All three of us enjoyed the experience and Melbourne really does look terrific from a bird’s eye view. It is our favourite city (maybe Paris is close second).”

Thanks again. Jose, Maggie and Patricia Miguel

A very entertaining diversion from the 30 min city orbit flight by a great family of Americans. They decided to get our pilot to circle their own ship to get photos from the air. Great idea!, afterwards our transfer vehicle dropped them off at the Melbourne Institution “Pelegrinis” for a great home style Italian lunch. Very Happy Campers indeed! Above shot of the cruise ships. Below another happy group of locals take in the sights.

Well i have to say, i reckon this will be the only time i am serenaded by a large contingent from a choir. The esteemed choir members loved their city orbit flights and were in a very jovial mood. Perhaps due to the French Champagne we supplied ! Some of the happy choir members below.

Echidnas are without doubt one of the most amazing and interesting creatures found on the Mornington Peninsula,

The Echidna (or affectionately known as the Spiny Anteater) is a primitive mammal. It lives in both Australia and New Guinea.

It is a solitary animal that burrows. When it is attacked, the echidna will burrow into the ground or curl itself into a ball using its spines as a method of defence against the predator. The echidna’s spines cover the top of its body. Echidna’s have long sharp claws on their feet, and are approximately 35-50 cms long with a 10cm long tail. Their nose is very sensitive, they use this to find food, then they use their long sticky tongue to catch ants, worms and other such insects. Echidna’s weigh on average between 2 to 7 kilograms.

Female echidna’s lay a single egg in their pouch. After ten days, the egg hatches and a puggle (baby echidna) is born. They are born blind and hairless, and consume milk from a gland within the pouch. After an average of four weeks, the puggle develops sharp spines, and must leave the pouch.

Pilot Guy Maine takes in the fantastic sights of Point Nepean, where there is a very informative tour run by Discovery Attractions (thanks for the great Echidna moments Fraser!) on the ground within the park. A look at the Historic Quarantine Station also surprises. There is a huge community of Echidnas that are very cute, kids will love them.

Just some great days ahead as evidenced from these couple of shots above and below whilst flying coastal down the Mornington peninsula.Want to play Golf or simply sit back and relax at a Winery whilst missing all the bothersome peninsula traffic over Summer, then come fly with Heli Experiences.We will look after every detail to ensure a special day!

and with the great weather comes some of the best views Melbourne has on offer, come fly with us!

Some of the Indian media getting ready to fly over the world famous Melbourne Cricket Ground and it’s a draw in the first test in India!

The only complaint was that we didn’t stay up long enough over the G, to get that extra special photo, we did our best, however the Victoria Police helicopter was on a mission and we don’t get in their way! Still as you see below, some great shots were taken.

Above SEN competition winners, happy as larry, below were the lucky group winning a 30 Min orbit from Heli Experiences as part of a Hungry Jacks Prize. Some very happy boys, with a whole day of footy action to follow, apparently the flight was the highlight of the day!

We had the pleasure of flying Melbourne Football Club Champion David Schwarz and his producer from SEN around the Melbourne City Orbit. Below photo at Heli Experiences Heli Pad , Essendon Airport.
