What really happens when you jump out of a plane from 15,000 feet? 🪂
You feel it from the second you climb into the plane. The climb feels slower than expected. Then the door opens, and there`s no talking yourself out of it.
Freefall turns into a quiet float back down, with the Shellharbour coast laid out below you. It`s the kind of view you don`t get any other way.
This is what @bigwaveskydive do best. Book yours and find out for yourself!

A slower spring starts here 🌿
Spring doesn`t have to mean doing more. It can mean sunrise walks along the coast, ocean swims before breakfast, long lunches that stretch into the afternoon and taking the scenic route through the escarpment.

From coastal adventures and nature-filled escapes to good food, local drinks and places worth lingering, there`s plenty of ways to find your own spring reset.
And to make it even more tempting, we`re giving you the chance to win the ultimate spring reset in Wollongong.

The Blue Mile was always going to be a good walk. Turns out it`s an even better feed 😍
Coffee stops, harbour views, cocktails as the sun starts to dip, and a seafood platter worth sharing between two, all along one stretch of coastline.
Which stop are you starting at?

The escarpment on one side, the ocean on the other.
Sea Cliff Bridge is one of a kind, and for those of us lucky enough to live in the Illawarra? Yeah, we do have this at home 😉
