Byron Bay In Australia
John Jordan
(BOC Teardrop with Sabre 190)
I am travelling a lot before I get to BB so did not really want to drag it
around the world with me if I can hire similar kit on the DZ. Anyone know
what kit they have or a mail address for them (or anyone who jumps there).
Anyone know if it is a good DZ ? I did some microlight flying from there
once and don't remember seeing anyone jumping much. I am meeting familly in
BB so I can not really travel too far from the coast but are there any other
DZ's I could consider.
I wish I was in Corrowa..............................

Are you talking about Bay Area Skydiving at Byron Calif.
If so, you will not find a nicer bunch of skydivers in Northern Calif.
I have been to all the northern Calif. DZ's and I find Byron's to be the
nicest.
There Boogie was HOT!!

From what I have heard it is a good DZ, they are meant to be having a HUGE
new years party :)
Anyhow, I personally have not jumped there, but you should be able to find
the email by going to the Australian Parachuting Federation Home Page (do a
all the information on Bryon including what facilities they have - should
also have their email address.....
Good Luck

CRW Team) trained in Byron Bay for a month back in 1986...it was great!
It is one of the most beautiful places I have ever been. It is right next
to a pristine beach (be nice to the pilot & you get to buzz the topless
babes on the beach after takeoff), and is the eastern-most point of
Australia if I remember correctly. The DZ is a bit tight, and you will
probably be asked to help shoo the Wallabies and Roos off the runway in the
morning--also, look out for the three-canopy jungle surrounding the DZ.
In the town of Byron Bay, there is a lighthouse on a towering cliff where we
saw some fantastic hang-gliding. The scenery is spectacular. Great scuba
diving available also (big sharks, I met a guy in a bar who was minus a leg
from shark snack while surfing). Best meat pies and jaffles in all Oz. The
attitude there kind of reminded me of Key West--lots of locals hanging out
surfing and having great lives...but no one seemed to have a job.
If the DZ is still open, take your rig...you'll love it.

I was so happy to read this thread. I'm going in December / January and am
soooo motivated to get thru level 8 before then, even tho I should be saving my
pennies for the trip! I've heard only great things about Byron Bay...

Time is precious. Waste it wisely.

YES it is still open, as I mentioned earlier the DZ that I jump at are
(mostly) all jumping in the plane and getting out over Bryon for New Years'
, now if Bryon is not there, there could be a problem, but I don't see one
the Australia's most spectacular DZ's closing down in the near future.

Australia has more pilots and skydivers per capita than any other
country. We are very air minded and some of our aircraft designs are
world shattering. You can swing a dead wombat without hitting a DZ!
Actually you can't swing a wombat at all, they have no tails!
