Project Loon Over the skies of Northern Australia - Internet at 60,000 Feet

Hi folks,

looks like Project Loon ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Loon_(company) )has a couple of high altitude balloons in Northern Australia at the moment. It has been interesting watching the flight paths. From what I can gather the balloons are the are the highest flying aircraft in Australia at the moment.

You can track their flights here:
