Funtastic Friday was here. Lots of skydivers were here for the cheap jumps. We got a lot of loads up today. MS Exposed jumpers were still training very hard for the record jump on Saturday.
Saturday was a huge day at the Dropzone. Tandems for today were Jarred, Nicholas, Kaycee, Luciuous, Craig and Lauren – Big congrats too all who jumped. Student Guy Gobourn completed 3 jumps today, Angus Johnson returned and did Stage 1, 2, and 3 of his AFF course. Jack did Stage 2 and 3.
MS Exposed jumpers took their clothes off and took to skies, with 3 jumps competed today, unfortunately they only successfully got 22 into formation (record is 24). All participants will try again tomorrow.

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.
