Friday blown out. And Saturday was also weathered out for the 4th weekend in a row!!

Sunday saved us again (for the 4th weekend in a row!) Lots of Tandems were here. Stephanie De Wit, Jai Coffison, Luke Hill, Calvin Mukerji, Peter Cai, Monika Barbaresco and Saxon Spillett all got their knees in the breeze.

Our new students Siddharth Beswami and Roger Flores-Ore did Stage 1 of their AFF Course. Hannah Jeffries did Stage 4, and Chris Gustafsson did Stages 5, 6. 7 & 8 of his AFF Course. And the fun jumpers who stayed for the day filled all the loads.

DZ Flashback – Blast From The Past

Visit our Ramblers history webpage for more info…

1982-ish: Jim Spark landing his round reserve (with line twists) after an “in-flight transfer” (opening his reserve and then cutting away his good, open main), into Lang Park at the QRL Grand Final. Note the main pilotchute about to land in front of the grandstand!

(to be confirmed…)

They helped me overcome all my fears! It was INCREDIBLE!

So last week I did a tandem jump!!!!! Was such a mad time! 🤯🤪🤩😮🤗 I've never wanted to skydive before but was asked to do it for work, so I really quite nervous. But the team at Ramblers Toogoolawah were so professional and cool that they made it such an undeniably EPIC and INCREDIBLE experience! Would even do it again! Highly recommend jumping there.
