Boree Log Sem 1 2016 – Grandma and Grandpa

Ah, why hello there darling, please come in. Would you like some tea? I’ll put the kettle on because IT’S TIME FOR BOREE LOG!

To those of you familiar, no description is required. To the new people Boree Log is the club’s bi-annual trip where EVERYONE is encouraged to come out to the great outdoors to participate in Climbing, Canyoning, Bushwalking, Slack-lining or whatever takes your fancy! Never mind if you have no experience with these things, this is your chance to give it a go!

As usual for Semester 1 we’ll be heading up to Cathedral of Ferns Campsite on Mt Wilson. Most people head up Friday afternoon/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 be too concerned about securing a spot super early.

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 we’ll have a party, as usual there will be Punch of Punishment, you can nominate friends here.

Now, we’re all getting older, starting to feel it in our bones. Perhaps you’ve started napping, maybe your knee needs replacing, or you might need to relieve yourself three times a night. Well you’ll feel right at home because this year the theme is ‘Grandma and Grandpa’, so get yourself a flash new cane, polish those dentures, and pluck those nose hairs. Remember, no costume, back of 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 provide 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.

Camping at this campsite is free, and the only amenities are long drop dunnies and a water tank.

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.

It’s time to feel young again!
