“What an awesome weekend of Star Crests!! We had one of the best ever turnouts for Starcrestees and volunteers and the weather was perfect! Congratulations to Riva, Tommy, Marcela and Brett for getting their crests completed, and also Emma, Savannah and Shane who all got successful jumps signed off!
Massive thanks to everyone who volunteered their time and jumps to make this possible, and also to Toogoolawah Skydivers Club Inc, Australian Parachute Federation, and South Queensland Parachute Council for sponsoring these events!”

Reviews & Visitor Book Comments
Michelle: “Amazing!! Booking the next one!!”
Ethan: “Had a great time. Robin was awesome, keen to get my License. Thanks to the professionalism form this place.”
Clive (via email): “No one word could explain my/our experiences we (Michelle and I) had over the weekend at Ramblers, we saw the best shooting star EVER!!! on the Friday night after arriving, I had a life changing experience on the Saturday morning with my 1st skydive jump so much so I had to do another to enjoy the experience I missed out on the 1st jump to which we were given the most spectacular sunset in the world, no one could ever describe that view, you have to see it to appreciate it. However that was not the only memory I will forever keep, it was when I/we offered to buy ‘a’ drink that we realized what a beautiful bunch of people you skydivers are at Ramblers and that alone was worth every cent spent over the weekend. I ‘may’ not ever come back to Toogoolawah to skydive because I want to now skydive everywhere I go but I would definitely love to come back and buy you all another case of beer. Thank you Ramblers and of course especially Grego, Ty and Robin for making the experiences so so much more exciting but ‘maintenance’ on the chute while we were under the canopy at whatever altitude Ty I had 110% belief you were going to get me to the ground safely so that did not bother me the slightest.”

Bill, Just a note to say thanks to you mate for your continued support it was a great trip. I would also like to bring to your leadership teams attention the exceptional support provided by Andy who did the tandem jump with a great friend of mine, Julie. To say Julie was petrified on the lead up to the big day would be a huge understatement. I had my doubts that she would actually exit on the day. I put her decision to exit firmly in the hands of Andy who excelled in calming her down, reassuring her whilst having a bit of a laugh along the way. The manner in which he guided her through what was to her a daunting task was oustanding to watch. He should be commended not only for his flight skills but also his raport and interaction with the customer. I was not surprised to find out he had a military background. Ramblers should be proud to have such fine men on their books as you and Andy, Bill.
“exceptional support”, “reassuring… whilst having a bit of a laugh” – by John D. – Julie’s Tandem
