Minjin Jungle Swing
In keeping with the AJ Hackett spirit of stretching the limits of gravity, the Minjin Jungle Swing was created to allow 1, 2 or 3 people to experience extreme speed and acceleration together. The only multi-person Jungle Swing in Australia swoops through the rainforest from 45 metres down to 1 metre in 3.5 seconds, reaching speeds up to 120km/h. But don’t think it's up to the Swing Master to set you going – you have the control… all you have to do it pull the self release… For the full story about the Minjin, scroll to the bottom of this page, if you dare...

THE MINJIN LEGEND....read if you dare
1892
A local bullock driver called Stan McGregor was forging a trail from Smithfield to Kuranda during the monsoonal rains when he became stranded on a peak now know as Saddle Mountain. He was near death when he was found by a local Aboriginal tribe and nurtured back to health. Despite their warning of the dangers involved, Stan left the tribe and forged on towards Kuranda never to be seen again.
1927
A local timber cutter was felling timber on the high peaks behind Smithfield when he discovered a hideous site - an old saddle with a scrambled message carved roughly into the leather wedged high in a rainforest tree. The message read: "Something is here, something is stalking me" There was also a strange paw-like symbol alongside the message.
1962
While cutting trails through Smithfield hills, Glen Jabobs, president of the local mountain bike club, discovered a strange sabre-toothed skull, which he believed to belong to the conspicuous legend.
Aboriginal Legend talks about a sabre-toothed rainforest cat named the Minjin which means "mountain devil"
2000
AJ Hackett unearths the legend that is the "Minjin" and with it the symbol derived from the strange paw-like print found in 1927. The "Minjin" has returned to Saddle Mountain, the evil karma has run its course and is now gone forever.
The Minjin Jungle Swing sits at the bottom of Saddle Mounyain and screams at speeds similar to that of a mountain cat.
