You Can Skydive onto Mission Beach

Ok, so today there’s not much happening in the tropics and it’s a real lazy day. We are excited though as tomorrow we drive up to Cairns, pick Jaime up from the airport and drive up to our villa in Port Douglas for a week of R&R.

I drive over to the Mission Beach village to watch the skydivers descend from the blue skies above and land on the beach in perfect succession. People pay good money for this, usually backpackers looking for a thrill as they go tandem with their instructor. The skydivers race down towards the palm trees and then do a sweeping turn into the wind, slow themselves down and gently land on the beach next to a big red flag.

Watch videos if you are keen to give it a go one day.Baca lagi
