CAMPING ONLY – Boree Log

Missed out on Boree Log signups but still want to come along for a weekend of fun, friends and good times! Then you’re in the right place.

We are opening up some CAMPING ONLY spots for Boree Log because the wait list for the main event is huge and we want as many of you to be involved as possible.

What this means

• You get to come along to the same campground as everyone else from Friday night to Sunday Morning
• Saturday night you get to join in on the Polar themed Party and Dinner (yes, we will happily feed you)
• During the day on Saturday and Sunday you are more than welcome to split off and do your own adventures.
  • There’s plenty of amazing day hikes around the area, cool little towns to explore. If you are self sufficient by all means go for a climb too!

This year we are going to Cathedral of Ferns campground in the Blue Mountains. The theme this year is POLAR so get your icy gear ready!

Note, please do not expect to find any last minute free spots on official Boree Log Trips once you get there, these are currently full and the numbers need to be capped for safety.

Having said that if spots do open up and you are on the wait list for the main event we will be in touch with you ASAP.

What do I need to bring! (IMPORTANT)

• Food and Water There is no drinking water at the campground so bring your own! We will only be providing dinner on Saturday night. There is also no power so bring a camping cooker or food that doesn’t need to be cooked for breakfast, lunch and Friday dinner.
• Tent If you have your own tent, please bring it. The club has a very limited number of tents that can be borrowed from the gear cupboard, these are first-come-first-served.
• Sleeping Bag and Sleeping Mat You need to bring your own as it will be cold at this time of year, and a yoga mat/blanket will not be a fun night’s sleep for you
• WARM CLOTHES This BOREE LOG will be a lot colder than usual as it’s later in the year. As much as we’re hoping for warm weather and clear skies, please be prepared for cold nights and rain if need be!
• Personal items (e.g. toiletries, face mask, head torches, rain jackets, day pack, personal first aid kits, SUNSCREEN, cutlery, plate/bowl, water bottle, alcohol for Saturday night if you want)

How do I get there?
