List of contacts in Australian Parachute Federation.
List of Australian Parachute Clubs.
Greetings SkyNetters,
After posting my request for info on Californian skydiving, I received
a number of replies with lots of helpful information. A number of
people also asked me about Australian skydiving...
Australian Skydiving is alive and well. Here is a complete list of
all the contacts in the controlling body, the Australian Parachute
Federation, and a complete list of registered parachute clubs.
Blue Skies,
