Why skydive at Hillman Farm?
Because a skydive should feel personal — not like a production line. Here's what makes us different from every other dropzone in WA.
Fewer weather holds
Our inland airfield avoids the coastal sea breezes that ground other dropzones — so your jump is more likely to go ahead on the day you book.
Open year-round
WA's only full skydiving training facility open all year. We jump Wednesday to Sunday, summer and winter.
Small groups, real attention
No crowds, no rushed exits. Your instructor knows your name and takes the time to answer every question.
Since 1975
Hillman Farm is Australia's longest continuously running dropzone, and our Chief Instructor brings 25+ years of experience to every jump.
Stay the night
On-site camping and bunkhouses — the only dropzone where you can wake up, jump, and repeat.
Make a day of it
A scenic country drive, then post-jump celebrations at the historic Woolshed Café or the Darkan Hotel.

Can you skydive year-round in Western Australia?
Yes. The Skydive School is the only full skydiving training facility in WA open year-round. We jump Wednesday to Sunday, and our inland location at Darkan avoids the coastal sea breezes that ground other dropzones.
Do I need experience to do a tandem skydive?
No experience is needed. You're harnessed to a fully qualified APF-certified instructor for the whole jump, and your pre-jump briefing covers everything in about 20 minutes.
What are the age and weight limits?
Tandem skydivers must be 16 or older (under 18s need parental consent) and weigh up to 100 kg. For the learn-to-skydive (AFF) course, the limit is 95 kg. If you're close to a limit, give us a call before you book.
How long does it take to get a skydiving licence?
The APF A-Licence is performance-based, not a set number of jumps — the Australian Parachute Federation sets the requirements. The AFF course takes 5 days, and most of our students reach their A-Licence within 20–25 jumps.
What happens if the weather is bad?
If it's unsafe to skydive, we stay on the ground and reschedule you or refund you. If you don't turn up and don't let us know, your booking is forfeited — so please call us if your plans change.
