“WoW!!. Firstly, Thanks Macca, Ramblers and all the Ramblers team for hosting the Reunion. Marty’s cocktails by the pool were on point!! Thanks Marty It’s was so amazing to catch up and reminisce with so many old friends. I’m tipping there was over 100 people. Everywhere you turned there were bloody legends of our sport that made the evening so wonderful. Thankyou all for attending. Elise from the Cafe did a fantastic job. Thanks Elise For all the folks who came from afar. Bloody legendary effort. It was just what I needed. My heart is very full!!

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.
