For the once-only Tandem jumpers, choose to tandem jump over the Sunshine Coast and land on the beach at Coolum Beach or choose to tandem jump at Toogoolawah drop zone - Ramblers purpose-built skydiving institution.

The minimum age is 14 (with Parents consent) and a 86 year old groover holds the age record at Toogoolawah! Check out the Tandem Skydiving page. Click the tandem skydiving icon to find out more!
For those with a taste of something more than a tandem jump, choose the First Jump Course or try the 'Introduction' 3-jump freefall package, either at Toogoolawah drop zone or Coolum Beach. If you are up for the course or even the sport, choose the 'Completion' 10-jump Freefall package or better still, go hard and go off with the 'Addiction' 20-jump 'A' License package.
For the experienced jumpers, Ramblers drop zone at Toogoolawah is a REAL drop zone, for the fun jumpers - yeah! The 17-place turbine Cessna Caravan flies loads pretty much every day throughout the year - the average is about 4 caravan loads daily mid-week and up to 20 loads daily on the weekend, sometimes with 2-plane formation loads just because we can! Regular events including fun competitions, organised dive days, big boogies, Learning Curve Camps, team training camps and monthly Safety Meetings.

Finished the Course – What’s Next?

‘A’ Licence
To become a fully qualified skydiver, the aim is to achieve your “A” licence from the Australian Parachute Federation – this is your true Licence to Skydive. The privileges you will enjoy include cheaper jump rates, enter club competitions (fun and serious), jump with other skydivers, visit other drop zones, hire equipment, pack your own parachute and jump more high performance equipment.

Then the sky’s the limit!

Hiring Equipment
When you complete the course, jumps from 14,000 feet cost $36 each, plus gear hire. Gear hire is $44 per jump all-inclusive of harness, container, parachutes, helmet, altimeter and jumpsuit. Ramblers have a Gear Hire Scheme on offer to course graduates. The Scheme costs $110 and gives gear hire for only $22 per jump, valid for one year. Packs will cost you $11 each until you complete the Packing Course.

Buying Equipment

  • Altimeter
    You are required to purchase your own altimeter as soon as possible after graduating. Second hand alti’s come by every now and then, otherwise new ones range from $240 to $340, and come in sorts of shapes and colours. Ramblers offer a hire/buy service where you are able to lay-by an alti, and use it straight away.

  • Jumpsuit
    You are also advised to buy your own custom-made jumpsuit as soon as possible. It is of huge benefit to have your own jumpsuit to jump in, that is suitable to your body shape and weight. It is best to jump with a consistent surface area each time you skydive. New jumpsuits are available from the Air Suits jumpsuit factory at the DZ.

  • Complete Rig
    Buying your first set of gear is a very important purchase. You have the option of buying a second hand set of gear, or ordering a new custom set. In each instance, it is recommended to make up to 50 jumps on hire equipment before you purchase a new set of year. By this time you will be knowledgeable enough to know which equipment is suitable for your size and shape, what size canopy would suit you best etc. Second hand sets of gear are available at Toogoolawah Drop Zone, prices range from $2000 up to $4500. Your Instructors and Ramblers on-site equipment rigger will guide you with fittings and the right choice for you.

    If you would like to buy new gear, including custom size and colours, you will need to order it. A new set of gear can be ordered through the DZ Shop, and will cost around $7000 depending on the Aussie Dollar.
