On one of my many trips to Australia having travelled the Coast road from Sydney to Cairns Driven the Great Ocean Road also the Great Dividing Mountain Range Took the train on the Great Gahn Railway from Perth to Darwin. Travelled the Out Back to Ayes rock and cruised the Whitsunday Island which for me was more spectacular than the Caribbean Whilst all very good I felt I had not done anything really exciting Having climbed Ayes Rock and Sydney Harbour bridge yes all good but not exciting So I decided to take a flight and do a tandem sky dive On arrival at the airport there were 6 other tourists waiting and was told as the weather was closing in the pilot said that the flight he was now taking would probaly be the last of the day. The other tourists left but I waited as I was leaving Australia the next day. On his return the pilot said ok one more flight I was the only one there as the other tourists had left. You had the option of having your jump videoed and they had 3 guys with cameras to take the film for individual tourists so they all came on the flight so had one long video taken at all different angles by theses 3 guys So was it exciting no it was terrifying but Wonderful.
