Ben Gordon – Completed AFF
Monday 15th February. The weather was starting to look not too good. It didn’t stop Josh Large from coming along for a Refresher.
The weather did turn bad. It was rained out Tuesday and Wednesday. There were lots of packing lessons happening. Our students should be able to pack parachutes by the end of the week!
Thursday wasn’t much better but Ben Gordon stuck in there and did get AFF Stage 5 done right on sunset. On ya Ben, your patience paid off.
By Friday there were good breaks in the weather. Ben did Stages 6, 7 & 8 of his AFF Course. Other fun jumpers also got some jumps in.
On Saturday 20th Kayla Richards and Katie Wessling took a gamble on the weather, came along and won! They got on the first and only load and got their Tandem jump.
Our newest student Jackson Wales started his AFF Course and did Stage 1. Ben Gordon did Stage 9 and finished his AFF Course. Congratulations!
And that was IT for the week, Sunday was also rained out. Oh well, the DZ is looking greener!
See ya,
Macca and Team Ramblers.

We spent eight days at Skydive Ramblers and had great time. Awesome DZ, awesome friendly staff, great airplane and facilities. Accommodation on premises was great and very reasonably priced. We also enjoyed after jumping socialising at the bar on DZ and great food both at DZ and in nearby Toogoolawah town. Skydive Ramblers are wingsuit friendly and there is plenty of landing space around DZ.
Highlight of our trip was incredible kangaroo action at landing area - we did literally land on kangaroos and it was great fun :-) There are also wild koalas in the area.
