Travel Tips for Forbes

The small plane...

by CandS

Here is the little aeroplane that they take you up in to do the sky diving jump...tiny huh!? It only just fits 6 people in (the pilot, the jump master and four 'newbies') - even then everyone is basically sitting on top of each other...haha!!!

The club that runs the static line sky diving is called Western Districts Parachute Club and they are based at the club airstrip, just a 10 minute drive from the centre of Forbes towards the airport. If you would like more information or to get in touch with them, send me an email and I'll find out more details... :)

Sky Diving...

by CandS

Here's me on my first sky diving jump coming in for my first ever landing. :)

If you watch and do everything your TA (the guy on the ground) says to do then you should have a safe and easy landing. :) Static line sky diving is a great way to have a fairly safe jump... :)

Me in the sky...

by CandS

Here's me on my second sky diving jump...ahhh...sooooo peaceful!!

My second jump was in November 2002...I am really glad I did the second jump...I remembered much more of the 'free fall' part and felt much more in control. :)

I must admit, I landed on my butt again - can't help but do those "girly sit downs"... Still at least I didn't get hurt! ;)

Friendly people

by CandS

The people in Forbes are mostly very friendly... If you walk along the streets in town almost everyone says hello to you...

You will also tend to make new friends at pubs etc easily... It is a true country town... :)

Parkes Satellite Dish

by CandS

Parkes is about 30 minutes drive north of Forbes...on one trip I came across this big satellite dish...

You can do tours at the Dish too if you're interested in that sort of thing...otherwise you can just look around on your own... :)
