What a great start to the week — blue skies and light winds! We started off the week with a few new students who stayed for a couple of days and smashed out their AFF Stages. Big congrats to Greg, who finished his AFF Course in just four days.
The rest of the week we had B-Rel jumps, tracking jumps, and plenty of fun jumpers. The weekend saw most jumpers staying on the ground due to high winds and low clouds. Next week is looking great — student, fun jumper, and weather-wise!
DZ Action
🏁 Clara, Ethan, and Dane completed their First Jump Course classroom training on Monday. They’ll be back soon to take to the skies—watch this space!
⭐ Greg kicked off his skydiving journey in style—completing AFF Stages 1–3 on Tuesday, Stages 4–6 on Wednesday, and powering through Stages 7, 8, and 9 on Thursday, finishing his Course. Congratulations! That’s how it’s done. Cudos to Leanne, who also made solid progress, completing AFF Stages 1–6 across Tuesday and Wednesday. Bravo.
☀️ Samuel completed 3 coach jumps with Adam, and Jay knocked out B-Rel 1 with Toddy. Nice work!
🪂 Kevin took the leap with a Tandem skydive, captured on Handicam by Robin—an unforgettable memory made in freefall.

Reviews & Visitor Book Comments
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Kev M.: “Thank you to Robin for his expert guidance. I felt extremely comfortable in his care for my ‘bucket-list’ jump. It was everything I had hoped for. Thanks again.”
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.
