capital letters on the map and its is considered as a famous city, it absolutely doesn’t mean ANYTHING :)! But at least, I knew before I came here, that Queensland is some kind of “famous” and a nice place to spend time and so on. And I also knew that I want to go skydiving here. And so I did this afternoon!
The trip lasted all in all about 3 hours. In my group we were 5 people. We had to drive 20 minutes to the special little airport, somewhere out in the prairie, got then some instructions and appropriate skydive clothes, hat and goggles. Then we had to climb into the little airplane, a cessna, wherein no chairs were mounted and where we had to sit on the floor, each attached to an instructor. Plane started, raised, went up pretty fast! It was loud and it was shaking and we just saw the cows and sheeps on the bottom getting small and smaller. Soon we reached the 12000 feet and they opened the
door :D! After the two in front of me disappeared, it was my turn! Damn, that FEELING – slowly moving towards to the open door of a flying plane and sit on the edge, letting your legs dangle outside. And then 5 seconds later: here we go! :D Its incredible, that Feeling of falling, and when you know theres no need to worry, but the instincts say “THIS IS WRONG”…hehe!
The scenery was just stunning with all the mountains and lakes so small below. Actually the free fall lasted for about 45 seconds, but if felt much shorter! Also awesome was to enjoy the scenery in slow
motion, after the parachute got opened and the last 100 meters when the ground comes close again so fast, before it slows down for the landing. Yes....
