Patrick Rynan – Completed AFF
Achraf Dreif Bennany – Completed AFF
Monday 3rd January 2022. Today was still a holiday and there were 52 jumpers still here! More keen Tandems came along. Brothers David & Robert Lentile, Nicholas Seibel and Bahareh Shahrestanaki all made a leap.
New AFF students Billy Reynolds and David Gaul did Stage 1. Joseph Gipp and Ethan Stamper did AFF Stage 2, Hossein (Hamed) Mehrgoo did Stages 3 & 4, Luke Munroe did Stage 5, and Achraf Dreif Bennany did Stages 7 & 8. And congratulations to Patrick Rynan who did Stage 9 – completing his AFF Course. Along with a few coach jumps happening there was also a lot of fun jumping going on.
On Tuesday there was a fair bit of student activity happening. David Gaul and Billy Reynolds did Stage 2, Joseph Gipp and Ethan Stamper did Stage 3, Hossein (Hamed) Mehrgoo did Stage 5 of their AFF Courses. Shane Avis McAnally did a solo. There were 20 fun jumpers and a few coaching jumps got done.
Wednesday – Saturday – Ex- cyclone SETH visited and hung around for a few days. No Skydiving !! The Ramblers Rapids were in full flow and Liam and Dom (crazy pilots) were wake-boarding instead of flying!
Sunday was better weather-wise, but only just! Showers and clouds restricted activities a bit but we still got a few sorties done (but not enough!). Our two Tandems for the day were Kim Dinh and Scott Ward. Struan Roxborourgh, Thomas Rixon & Tredoux Pretorius started their training all did Stage 1. Hossein (Hamed) Mehrgoo did Stages 5 & 6 and Yash Dosanjh did a solo. Achraf Dreif Bennany did Stage 9 – completing his AFF Course, another Congratulations and a great way to end the wet week.
See ya,
Macca and Team Ramblers.

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.
