Australian manned free balloons are registered on the Australian Register. This page provides an example by way of illustration of how the marking system appears in practice.

Above: Kavanagh D-84 VH-NUG (cn KB223) demonstrates the style of markings for a manned free balloon. Two sets of registration markings are required, on opposite sides of the envelope and as near as possible to the point of maximum cross-section. This balloon was first registered on 20 January 2000 and is seen here taking part in a 'night glow' at the Narromine Airshow on 29 September 2007.
