Achievements & Congratulations

Completed AFF: ⭐️ Myles, ⭐️ Robbie

Milestone: ⭐️ Bill – 70 Years Old! Still Jumping!!!


Drop Zone Action

New week new jumpers. We welcomed Mark and Josh both of whom started their learn to skydive course with us at the start of the week.

Ongoing students for the week were Josh AFF Stages 1-4, Zac Stages 2 & 3, Robbie Stages 1-9, and Myles Stages 2-9. Congratulations to Robbie and Myles for finishing their AFF.

Over the weekend we ran another Learn To Skydive course for new students Harley, Leonard, Ryan, John, and Steve. Harley, Steve and John completing their first jumps with AFF Stage 1. Congrats to all that started.

A great turn out on Saturday with 16 loads taking to the skies jammed packed with fun jumpers. Sunday forecast was correct, and we were blessed with 38 degree day and the humidity was through the roof. Our onsite swimming pool providing the best place to cool down between jumps.

B-Rel jumps this week were done by Adam, Alex, Ben, Charleen, Jimmy, and Shakira. Well done!

Our Tandems taking to the skies were Julie, Alan, Taj, Cooper, Ava-Jane, Ricky, Frederik, Jane, Madison, Talia, Jordan, and Tara. Big welcome to all.


Need a jump buddy?

And if you have finished your training and you are looking for someone to jump with, let manifest know and they will put you in contact with our Load Energiser, who will match you up with a jump buddy. No charge. All you pay for is your own jump slot.

See ya,

Macca and Team Ramblers.


Reviews & Visitor Book Comments

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Okinokai: “Absolutely incredible – An amazing experience to do and Ty my tandem master was awesome. I will definitely be getting my friends to come do this.”

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Maddie E.: “Loved every second. Was terrified to jump, but Tye was great, very calming but heaps of fun. Shoutout to the people this place attracts as well! Everyone on the plane was so encouraging before and after the jump. Highly recommend!!”

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Jane E.: “A great experience !! Went as a group of 5 for my daughters 18th. 2 of us managed to jump before the weather turned bad. The staff were fantastic in organising another time for the other 3 of us. We had a great time. Our tandem instructors Robin, Chris and Ty were all wonderful.”

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ John D.: Bill, Just a note to say thanks to you mate for your continued support it was a great trip. I would also like to bring to your leadership teams attention the exceptional support provided by Andy who did the tandem jump with a great friend of mine Julie.

To say Julie was petrified on the lead up to the big day would be a huge understatement. I had my doubts that she would actually exit on the day. I put her decision to exit firmly in the hands of Andy who excelled in calming her down, reassuring her whilst having a bit of a laugh along the way. The manner in which he guided her through what was to her a daunting task was oustanding to watch. He should be commended not only for his flight skills but also his raport and interaction with the customer. I was not surprised to find out he had a military background. Ramblers should be proud to have such fine men on their books as you and Andy, Bill.”
