Hi guys... I'm in NEW SOUTH WALES NOW WOOOHOOO we arrived yesterday and had an overnight stop in a place called Nimbin, people that have been to Oz must know all about this place because its just weird! full of hippies and the place defintely feels like its stuck in the 60's.

We booked for 12,000 feet up but were given the option to go to 14,000 feet for an extra 20 squid, bargain considering you get an extra 60 seconds of freefall which in my opinion is this the best part of skydiving!! Karen went first which was very disturbing, watching your b...
