Hey everyone!

Boree Log, the most highly anticipated event in the club calendar, is right around the corner in six months time!! For anyone who hasn’t been to a previous Boree Log, get ready a weekend of camping, partying, and outdoors fun!

Due to the closure of Mt Wilson Road from this Friday, Boree Log in term 3 cannot be held at Cathedral of Ferns Campground as has been done since the dawn of time (see https://www.bmcc.nsw.gov.au/mount-wilson-road-mount-wilson).

Additionally, due to the closure of roads such as Victoria Pass and Wolgan Road and rising fuel prices making locations like Nowra infeasible, we have decided to leverage NSW’s high speed regional rail network.
