Toogoolawah Drop Zone - Skydiving in Brisbane
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 for skydiving in Brisbane 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.
Families
Toogoolawah is a family drop zone. While you are having the time of your
life jumping from perfectly good aeroplanes, the kids will have a fantastic
time riding bikes, on the swings, playing fooseball, watching videos,
swimming in the pool and watching the parachutes swooping while you tandem skydive.
