Mandurah and Pinjarra to Hillman Farm
Two good ways in from the Peel region. Pick the one that suits you on the day.
Option 1: the back road through Pinjarra
From Mandurah, head to Pinjarra, then take the Pinjarra–Williams Road east through the hills to Williams. It's the shortest way, about 170 km from Mandurah, with a lot of winding forest road.
Option 2: the highway
Take the Kwinana Freeway, cut across on Karnup Road and Jarrahdale Road to Albany Highway, then follow it south-east to Williams. It's further, about 210 km, but it's highway most of the way.
Williams to Darkan
Both routes meet at Williams. From there it's about 30 minutes west to Darkan, and the airfield is about 12 minutes out of town along Hillman Road. Search "The Skydive School" in Google Maps.
Keep some time up your sleeve
Country roads, trucks and roadworks can slow you down, so build in a buffer. Running late? Give us a call on 0415 486 422.
Drive times are estimates for normal conditions. Check Google Maps on the day for roadworks and traffic. Coming from further north? Here's the drive from Perth.
A real dropzone, worth the drive
The Skydive School isn't in Mandurah or Pinjarra. We're at Hillman Farm Airport near Darkan, where skydivers have been jumping since 1975, and we're the only WA dropzone running AFF all year.
A big day out from the Peel
From Mandurah or Pinjarra it's a 2 to 2.5 hour drive through the hills to Hillman Farm. Make a day of it: jump, watch your friends land, and head home with the video.
Come for the jump, stay for the people
Hillman Farm has a real community feel. Local jumpers, students and first-timers all share the same airfield, and you'll get the same welcome whether it's your first jump or your five hundredth.
