Over the past few years, Tony's strong will to establish ski jumping as a year-round sport in Australia has matured into a project. He has obtained a wealth of infomation from his peers in Slovenija, familiarised himself in all aspects of the sport including the rules and regulations, and obtained architectural plans for the jumping hills.
Tony has also established the Ski Jumping Institute of Australia (Reg No. B1668484M, Victoria) to represent the sport Australia-wide with membership open to anybody. To join please download a membership application form (pdf, 32 kb).
In June 2003, Tony visited Slovenija for further discussion about establishing ski jumping in Australia. Whilst there he met with Klemen Kobal, one of the foremost Slovenijan ski jumping hills architects, to discuss a pre-fabricated ski jumping facility that could be erected near any school or sporting facility.

This facility has been designed with safety as a prime consideration whilst also being low maintenenace and environment-friendly. Spectacular advertising space will be available on all three jumping hills.
Please contact Tony for more information.
