Here it is again, your weekly DZ Newsletter from Monday 28th August, and the start of the week was quiet. Nothing happened today, no jumping. It was a bit of a relief really after such a full on weekend!

But on Tuesday  Mr Woo’s group did some serious jumping. And on Wednesday Troy Hanson was here for AFF Stages 4 & 5. Cameron our pilot also did Stage 7 of his AFF. Ayden de Ruiter also got a B-Rel jump in.

Thursday was also a quiet day so the staff did some tandem training.

A bunch of fun jumpers were here and some good loads happened. So did our Friday night sausage sizzle.

On Saturday the weather was pretty good. A little bit of everything happened; new students, old students, flatties (Jim Czerwinski’s Two Galahs Ten did a couple of practice jumps), angles and wing suiters kept the pace steady. Our tandems for the day were Lou Langrish, Angie Wright and Wayne Mundey.

The wind turned a bit nasty in the middle of the day but we ended on a good high with a fun load. And a good feed at the pub as usual!

See ya!

Visitor Book Comments

Re Re Mustang – Awesome instructors and awesome free fall.
Wayne Mundey – Best experience!

This is the place for your AFF Skydive Course! It was one of the most memorable experiences of my life and in no small part due to the great people at the Toogoolawah dropzone. I highly recommend this place for those considering learning how to throw themselves out of a perfectly good airplane. You won't regret your decision.
