Monday 18th June. Our newest AFF student Oliver Morris continued with Stage 2 of his course. We also had three new people start their 1st Jump Course but it was classroom only as the weather turned against us after the first load.
Tuesday was a repeat of yesterday: one load before the winds took over. However not before Jai Seefeld did Stage 1 of his AFF Course from yesterday and Oliver Morris did Stage 3.
On Wednesday the weather came not just good but beautiful. We managed five Caravan loads all packed with students. Jon Blessing & Zea Elmes commenced their training in the morning and did Stage 1 that afternoon. Anthony Clouting & Louise Foster returned after Monday and did Stages 1, 2 & 3. Jai Seefeld did Stages 2, 3 & 4, and Oliver Morris did Stages 4 & 5 of his AFF Course. Phew!
On Thursday the good weather continued and so did our new jumpers. Jon Blessing & Zea Elmes did Stages 2, 3, & 4, Anthony Clouting did Stage 4, Jai Seefeld did Stages 5 & 6, and Oliver Morris did Stages 5, 6 & 7.
Funtastic Friday lived up to its name. Fun Jumpers arrived, Tandems arrived and our students thrived! Our Tandems were Tobi Grimshaw, Jessica Elmes, Hayden Steicke & Taylor Flanagan.
Jon Blessing did Stages 5, 6 & 7 of his AFF Course, Zea Elmes did Stages 5, 6 & 7, Jai Seefeld did Stages 7 & 8, and Oliver Morris did Stages 8 & 9 – completing his AFF!
The weather behaved all day and the sausage sizzle and evening bonfires keep everybody happy and warm.
We had some more Tandems Saturday. Troy Bunter and father Adam took the big leap. So did Madeline Hartung.
Jai Seefeld did his Stage 9 and Zea Elmes and Jon Blessing did Stages 8 & 9, all three completing their AFF – well done and congratulations!
There were a ton of Fun Jumpers here, and a lot of Tish’s friends arrived to jump and party at her 30th birthday party Saturday night (all night!).
The good weather continued on Sunday. Our only Tandem was Haylee Malcolm, she loved it!
Joshua Large started training and did Stage 1on the last load.
It was a great student week. It was a sort of busy Sunday. Robbie McMillan’s swoopers were hard at it. The 182 did as many loads as the Caravan. There were over 30 jumpers here. Quite a few stayed and we went to the pub to watch the footy, which we won’t discuss!
Bring on Learning Curve!!!
See ya!

I have been to Toogoolawah for 3 tandem jumps so far. I am trying to make it a yearly event. I love the atmosphere out there in the bush, with the kangaroos around.
