Skydiving, Australia

The East Coast has some amazing views so if you want to a birds eye view…maybe you can look at them while you are plummeting to earthward on a skydive??!!
Contiki offers two different Sky diving optional excursions.
Surfers Paradise is an amazingly picturesque place to skydive. The jump is 10,000ft and you will be able to check out the amazing coastal views on your way down.
Miles and miles of sandy beaches that the East Coast is famous for!
If you are a real daredevil…then the sky dive in Cairns might appeal to your more. You can skydive from a huge 14 000 ft…if you are brave…YIKES.
How much free fall do you get on these sort of skydives?
10 000 ft = 30 seconds – Surfers Paradise and Cairns
12 000 ft = 45 seconds – Cairns
14 000 ft = a HUGE 60 seconds! – Surfers Paradise and Cairns
Try it…it is really amazing!

I can see that you are putting a lots of efforts into your blog. Keep posting the good work.Some really helpful information in there. Bookmarked. Nice to see your site. Thanks!I mean it. You have so much knowledge about this issue, and so much passion. You also know how to make people rally behind it, obviously from the responses. Youve got a design here thats not too flashy, but makes a statement as big as what youre saying. Great job, indeed.

The author has written an excellent article. You made your point and not much to discuss. It’s like this universal truth that you can not argue with the truth is not universal everything has its exception. Thanks for this information.

A day bag is a bag that is big enough to fit in what you may need for a day’s sightseeing (for example a backpack, a shoulder bag, a big hand bag or a ‘man bag’).

YES DO IT!!!
The most amazing thing to do in Australia – best conversation starter when you get home! Its such a great adrenaline rush and trust me I had no experience of any extreme sport and still loved it!!
In fact I even told my buddy I loved him when we landed! Thats how good it is!

Recent Tips
I'm a Bondi local...it is always packed with people...if you're looking for a more chilled beach hang out, check out Tamarama, Coogee or Bronte beach, all 5-10mins from Bondi.
A tip for people looking for a decent coffee shop.. if you don't already know about it, you will because most Contiki travellers find out about it - its The Grasshopper. Ask a local and they should be able to tell you where to find it.
Take 50€ and put it somewhere safe, your suitcase, your travel documents, wherever. This way you'll have it just in case.
