Series 1: Story 2

Zoe gets a Bird's eye view of Byron Bay

Zoe Naylor loves adventure - but when we told her we wanted to throw her out of a perfectly good aeroplane she was more than a little apprehensive.

She eventually agreed when we told her she would be landing safely on one of Byron Bay's beautiful beaches.

Byron Bay is Australia's most eastern point, and is known for it's relaxed atmosphere and alternative lifestyle.

As Zoe has never been skydiving before, she took a tandem jump - that's where you are strapped to an expert, and all you have to do is take in the exhilarating free-fall and enjoy the ride !

Zoe jumped from a height of 10,000 feet, which meant she was free-falling for over 40 seconds. A jump of 12,000 feet means a free-fall of almost a minute !

Local skydiver Steve hooked Zoe up just seconds before releasing the door, and sending her on the ride of her life !

Steve is from the Byron Bay Skydiving Centre, operating out of Tyagarah Airport, at Brunswick Heads, just a short drive from Byron Bay. You can find their details, including their website and email address in Fast Facts at the bottom of this page.

Zoe loved every minute of the jump, is planning to jump again from a greater height, and thoroughly recommends a tandem jump to anyone !
