Balloonists from all over the world descend on Canberra every
March to dazzle and delight locals with their spectacular air show.
The event coincided with Enlighten Festival, a breath-taking festival
of light featuring architectural projections, local and international
installations, live entertainment and food.
Local Filipino restaurant Kusina proved to be a crowd
favourite, with another Filipino eatery, Hoy Pinoy, from
Victoria, returning to the festival. n PICTURES ON PAGE 5
