Welcome to Skydive Territory the home
of Darwin Parachute Club Inc.
We’ve come a long way.....
Darwin Parachute Club has seen a varied and colourful history,
from the building of the club to the many people that have
made the club their home, if only for a short while. The majority
of the facilities have been designed, built and decked out
by club members.
The club started in the early 1960’s with no running
water, no power, a tin roof and packing in the dirt down near
the cross strip.
After Cyclone Tracy some dongas become available and the
club move to its current location, using some of the original
tin to build an under cover packing area (our current bar).
Facilities included the new packing area, a bunkhouse and
a kitchen.
In 1992 the government built a waiting area or the airstrip
that consisted of toilets, showers and an under cover waiting
area.
In 1994 the club moved the bar to the old packing shed and
constructed a brand new packing shed and manifest area. The
bar has since been relocated slightly and enlarged to cater
for the massive parties that occur during REL WEEK.
Darwin Parachute is one of the few remaining drop zones in Australia that
is still run as a club by the members.
