Thursday arrived and the weather held. Robert Bellamy did Stages 7 & 8. Alexandra Nadasan did AFF Stage 8. There were still 19 jumpers here and the three loads were full.
Funtastic Friday arrived and so did 36 jumpers. We had some Tandems also arrive; Angus Wickens, Wendy Katterns and Jack Peralta all had a ball! So did our Night Tandems jumpers Natasha Comiskey, and Melissa Thomas. Well done Sara and Wayno. It was a fantastic jump, right on twilight with a full moon shining down.
Our newest students Owen Mullins and Jenny Garcia de Albeniz did Stage 1 of their AFF Courses. Robert Bellamy and Alexandra Nadasan did Stage 9 – completing their AFF, our first 20-20 graduates. Congratulations! There were 8 loads done, all full and not bad for a Friday.
Saturday was a beauty. There were 16 loads done and 61 jumpers were here to do them. Our Tandems today were Debra Morley, Hannah Govan, Tori Joyce, Brandon Cook and Susan Cathcart. Welcome to our Ramblers sky!
AFF students Owen Mullins and Jenny Garcia stuck around. Owen did Stages 2 & 3 and Jenny did Stages 2, 3, & 4. Pathfinders Australia Marty and Grant were here again for another couple of Roundie jumps, and to show us just how landing rolls should be done.
Sunday was the worst weather of all: low cloud – high winds – no rain – no jumping.
Our thoughts are with the people and animals suffering the bushfire disaster.
See ya,

Went with them today for my first ever skydiving. It was amazing, exhilarating and exciting. Don't be scared, there's nothing terrifying about it. Once you are out of the plane, it feels like you're flying.
