Event information

This event has passed.

This is an expression of interest so I can get an indication of who is going. It will fill up, so you will need to sign up at the link below as soon as possible!

This introduction to caving will be conducted over 2 days. As this activity is based in a bush setting next to Isaac Creek, there are no facilities provided. Creek water is not always drinkable. If we have enough attending we will get a port-a-loo.

This activity will be conducted on and around the cliff & caves at the location. As this activity is mainly practical, suitable clothing and sturdy footwear are required.

Participant needs to bring suitable camping gear and ensure that they have suitable food, snacks and water for this activity.

Camping on the Friday night is a good idea due to the early start time on Saturday. Camping and Scout supervision is the responsibility of the individual Unit Leaders. Coordinating the transport etc is the responsibility of the participant.

All applicants will need access to a helmet (a 4 point attachment or rock activity) and sturdy footwear. It is suggested that all participants wear overalls during the caving activity. If you don't have access to overalls then long trousers and a shirt that tucks in is OK. Region can provide helmets and harness if needed. You will also need to bring 3 sources of light.

If any parent stays overnight, they must have a WWCC or camp in a different area.
