repcool 2 #1 June 6, 2009 Howdy, This goes out to Melbourne area skydivers. I see that there is at least one DZ with a turbine. I have been asked tgo there for 6 months for work. What is jumping like there during your winter (now)? Can I still expect to get a decent weekend and a few week days in or do things slow down a lot? The season just got going here (Denver) so I just can't go if I can't get a jump season in! Thanks, Simon Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rockstar_girl 0 #3 June 24, 2009 Hey! There is DEFINITELY still jumping! It's a bit colder now for sure, bring your thermals and a neck warmer. The days have been hovering around 20 degrees (I'm in Wollongong), and it's slightly colder in Melbourne. The DZ you want is called "Nagambie". Here's the website: http://www.skydivenagambie.com/ Now get your butt onto SkySurfer and meet some of your new friends! :) http://www.skysurfer.com.au/ Happy travels!

That may as well be a good summers day in the UK! You should try jumping in the winter here, -10 at altitude isn't uncommon! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

James.UWE 0 #6 June 25, 2009 Haha 20 degrees is shorts and t-shirt weather! Only 6 weeks till I get to Australia to sample the 'very cold' temperature myself! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
