There was drama near the floating harbour earlier this week when hot air balloon enthusiasts treated passers-by to the ballooning version of a backside kick-flip.
We're told the official term for this particular balloon manoeuvre is a 'splash and dash', in which pilots descend slowly onto the water before taking off again.
Listening to the nervous laughs of folk gathered along the harbourside on Wednesday afternoon, it seems not everyone had faith in these plucky pilots.
Check out the action here.
