Today Show host Karl Stefanovic has used his love for a classic Australian film to brainstorm a plan to cross the Queensland border.

Inspired by the Australian 2003 comedy film Danny Deckchair and also by David Blaine’s latest stunt, the Sydneysider has pitched the idea of crossing the Queensland border with balloons.

“What go you think about that? Just over Coolangatta with beautiful headwind. Off I’ll go all the way up to Yorkeys Knob.”

The TV personality was reminded of his idea when Blaine’s stunt ‘Ascension’ was shown, which showed the illusionist attached to a bunch of specially designed helium-filled balloons allowing him to float about 18,000 feet above the earth before returning by parachute.
