Paragliding Australia questions
Hey freeflight community,
I am interested in learning to paraglide and considering a working holiday in Australia and learning to fly. In this post I am hoping to get some links to resources and information that will help me out.
Im 27, and coming from Vancouver Canada. Planning to book a flight in March sometime. My main hobby is rock climbing. Im considering getting a van and living out of that but I am not opposed to getting a cheap room.
The best school I can find on google is High Adventure near Sydney. This would be great to base out of as I could access multi pitch trad climbing in the Blue Mountains when I am not focusing on flying.
As a Canadian I can easily obtain a 1 year working holiday visa and would like to get a job at either a climbing gym or a gear store if possible.
I know this post is very vague but I am just hoping to start a dialogue with anyone who can point me in the right direction as I do not have any close friends in the paragliding community. I am also not dead set on Australia! I have a budget of about 10k but would like to go somewhere where I can work to support the hobby.
Any help is much appreciated!!! Thanks!
