VH-AJC, try to get some Cessna 200 time, either C210 or C206, this will be the most likely aircraft you will get to fly "out there". Failing that, C182 or if you're a masochist even a PA32. There are a couple of skydive companies around Bris, try visiting the DZ at Aratula on a weekend, or contact Rambler's. If you're visiting Redcliffe, drive a bit further to Caboolture and Caloundra, you might be surprised at what you find.
