Boree Log Semester Two 2014

Listen in close young guns. In this clubs 70 year history a few spooky happenings sure have happened.
I heard stories. Dark stories. They say the woods around barrington tops are cursed you know?

So what does that mean to all of us? Should we hide in our warm beds this Halloween?

Of course not, it’s time for Boree Log!

So dust off your harnesses, paddles, ropes, mountain bikes, crucifixes, oujia boards and pack a spare pair of undies. Things might get a little scary for a while here. Watch out I hear one of the kayaks has a ghost in it!

To those of you familiar, no description is required. To the new people, this is the clubs bi-annual trip where everyone is encouraged to come out to the great outdoors to participate in kayaking, rafting, climbing, canyoning, hiking, mountain biking, trail running or whatever takes your fancy! Never mind if you have no experience with these things, this is your chance to give it a go!

For the first time we will be heading up to The Steps Campsite nr Barrington Tops on Friday evening, so we can get up early for a day of fun and adventure on Saturday. Trip details will be posted up closer to the date, so don’t worry about organising trips just yet.

On Saturday night, there will be a bon fire as well as feast prepared to sate the appetite you worked up during the day. Saturday night is also the party night, so BYO. This years is the clubs 70th birthday and I here all the curses we’ve acquired will be washed away in a huge Halloween party on the Saturday night. Bring your spookiest costume and get ready for a feast. No costume, back off the line for dinner

On Sunday we will wake up and do it all over again!

If you don’t know what to bring, here is a useful guide. The club will be able to prived you technical equipment, but if you have your own wetsuits, harnesses, misc climbing gear etc., please bring it, because supplies are limited. The club will also have a number of tents for people to sleep in, but again, if you have your own, bring it also. The club has NO sleeping mats or sleeping bags. It won’t be too cold, so a doona will suffice if you don’t have a sleeping bag.

Everyone is encouraged to collect some firewood on their way to the campsite – it helps with cooking dinner and creating a warm and sociable atmosphere.

You will need to pay for camping on this site in order to attend. This will cost $24 fIt’s only $24 for the camping fees for the weekend, which gets you access to the campground, showers, amenities and one of the most beautiful places in Australia!!!  (We’ve got a 20% discount from BOAC have given us; down from $30). You will be taken to the paypal payment page when you click “Attend this trip” below. Any issues, please contact treasurer@unswoc.org.

No doubt you will have questions, so please read this FAQ, and if that doesn’t answer your questions get in contact with us on the club’s Facebook page and we will try to help you out.

Happy Days :D.
