Experienced UNEOAC members will be there to facilitate the activities! If you’re a beginner or would just like to sightsee, you’re more than welcome to come along and hang out.
WHY: This is a great event for trying out different outdoor activities for the first time. There are easy and challenging climbs, guided caving through Crombies Cave, bushwalking and lookouts, some swimming, and we will set up a slackline for campground fun.
We will host a free BBQ lunch so you get to meet new people and re-fuel during your day of adventures! Please let us know of any dietary restrictions and we will try to accommodate.
WHEN: Activities begin at 9AM until about 2PM on SUNDAY the 8th of March.
If you do not know where you are going or need a ride - meet at the SportUNE Carpark at 8:15am (gravel carpark adjacent to the army barracks/hockey fields will be where club members will be waiting), to drive/carpool out to Gara Gorge (Blue Hole).
WHERE: Gara Gorge - Oxley Wild Rivers National Park.
WHO: All UNE Students and those interested in getting into outdoor adventuring are welcome!
HOW: Respond "Going" to this event so we can plan catering. Please reach out and post in the event if you want to organise carpooling, so we can try to accommodate as many seats as possible.
EXTRA INFO: Bring anything you need for a day in the bush, including plenty of water, snacks, and sun protection (sunscreen, protective sleeves, and hat). All climbing gear, including safety gear will be supplied by the club. If you have your own harness, shoes and other climbing gear you are welcome to use it.
Wear clothes that can get dirty or wet, depending on activities of interest.
