On Tuesday things picked up and we did big and little loads. Josh Egan came by for a tandem. Attila & Melissa Dempsey were back. Melissa did Stages 5 & 6 of  her AFF Course while Attila Szvetko did Stages 7, 8 & 9 – completing his AFF! Well done. There were a few keen skydivers here and we got 5 loads done.

The weekend was all but a washout. No loads at all Saturday but Mitchell Hancock did his First Jump Course with Daniel McWhir and Ross O’Hara sitting in, but the day’s jumping was rained out.

Sunday wasn’t much better. One Charlie and one Marj load and that was it for the weekend. Our brave tandem was Xueru Liu, and Mitch Hancock was on both loads for Stages 1 and 2 of his 10 Jump AFF package. Another 10 die hard fun jumpers filled the loads. It was still a fun week.

Visitor Book Comments

Joshua Egan – Amazing tandem jump. The freefall was great and canopy time was instructional with controls and direction.

Allie Burke – You guys are the greatest!  Thank you so much for an amazing experience. Can’t wait to start my skydiving course! See you again soon!! 🙂

Jarrad Schmidt-Lee – Loved it thanks for the support of the crew.

Xueru Liu – Awesome.  Safe and support of the crew.

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.
