Toogs New Years Boogie 2023

“This was the third time we ran this event and a good time was had! All the jumpers kept our pilots busy and the planes running, doing a total of 107 loads over the event. It was so good to see the participants jump hard, be safe, have fun and progress before welcoming 2024 with a great New Years party! Thank you to iFly Goldcoast, the SQPC, the APF and the Toogoolawah Skydivers Club for sponsoring this event and making it possible! And thank you to all the coaches, camera flyers, helpers and all the participants for making it such an awesome boogie!”

Adrian Seemann

“I was one of the flat coaches for the New Year’s Boogie, and we had an incredibly productive and enjoyable experience! With over 10 B-Rels signed off, and 5 star crests completed, our flat flyers were progressing super fast, and making the most of the (mostly) beautiful weather we had over the new years period! Overall a great success, well done everyone!”

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.
