Toogoolawah Drop Zone

Ramblers drop zone at Toogoolawah in the Brisbane Hinterland was established in 1979. The original Club House was moved from Brisbane and erected at the drop zone for the weekend jumpers to have a home. The drop zone has grown into a style of Country Club – a Resort for skydivers! Toogoolawah drop zone is argued to be among the Top 10 drop zones in the World for the facilities, the weather, the aircraft, the people and the fun.

Toogoolawah is purpose built for jumpers – the new and the experienced sport jumpers – with an aim of it providing a home for skydiving for many generations to come. The drop zone has classrooms, gear rooms, a packing hut, a team hut, a full time rigging loft for gear maintenance, ‘Airsuits’ jumpsuit factory, hangar, bunkhouse, communal kitchen, on-site cabins with ensuites, café, gear shop, inground swimming pool, gym, huge bar, foos and pool tables, but above all, a wonderful atmosphere. Ramblers prides itself on providing excellent facilities and excellent value for money.

Parties
Skydiving puts a huge smile on your face and makes you want to party! A jumper once said that “jumping is what beer was invented for!” Ramblers has a strong social club and skydivers generally like to have a good time. We offer a terrific venue with an awesome atmosphere day and night. You are welcome to stay overnight at Toogoolawah after your jump. Every Friday night there is a free sausage sizzle by the pool and a great party every Saturday night – you’re invited!

If you are organising a party of your own (birthday, anniversary, wedding etc) consider Toogoolawah drop zone as your party venue. There are no time or noise restrictions, an incredible music system, plenty of room for a private marquis, a large inground pool with BBQ, a huge bar and cold room, a snack bar, catering packages, various on-site accommodation and a terrific environment.
