Thursday – A not so good weather day. Low clouds and winds kept most jumpers away. Only 2 loads took to the skies.

Friday – Today the weather was bad, not one load took to the skies. Much needed rain fell. The kangaroos were happy.

Saturday – Same again today. Low clouds and rain kept everyone away. The indoor fire place was the place to be. Brad Markwell returned after a 14 year break for a refresher course.


Sunday – Finally great skydiving weather. Not a cloud in the sky and minimal winds on the ground. A great day was had by all. Tandems for the day were – Nick Leng, Grace Sha, Camilla Dias, Abigayl Schultz, Gabrielle Volkers, Genieve Volkers, Mahlee Turnour-McCarty, Bree Crane, Colin Hennessey, George Hennessey, Madison Bundrock, Madison Kilgour.

DZ Flashback – Blast From The Past

Visit our Ramblers history webpage for more info…

4-way over Ramblers DZ at Aroona, near Beaudesert, 1976. Ron Law tracking off, John McEvoy on John Baker’s legs and Dave McEvoy (with reserve unhooked!) both geeking the cameraman Sam Clarke.

(to be confirmed…)

I have been to Toogoolawah for 3 tandem jumps so far. I am trying to make it a yearly event. I love the atmosphere out there in the bush, with the kangaroos around.
