[FULL] SATURDAY BL – BUNGONIA Cave Exploration

Heyo everyone!

On Saturday of Boree Log, Harry and I (Liam) will be taking a group to Bungonia for some rad Cave Exploration!

This is a beginner friendly trip that will involve some of the best walk-in caves Bungonia has to offer! Whether you are new to caving all together or would like to learn more about this gnarly sport, sign ups can be found below. MAKE SURE YOU READ ALL THE INFORMATION FIRST.

This caving trip will be all about diving in and exploring, so be prepared for a day packed with scrambling, squeezing, crawling and discovering. There will be no ropework on this trip, and is suitable for energetic and enthusiastic explorers of all skill levels.

We will be leaving from the Boree Log base camp (Bendeela Campground) EARLY Saturday morning, Bungonia is roughly 1:20 hrs drive away. We will organise car pooling so please tell us in the sign up comment if you have a car and how many people you can take.

We will head back to Bendeela in the afternoon/evening, ready for party and Sunday trips.

As seen above, the caves can get dirty! keep this in mind when deciding on your gear for the day!

What YOU need to bring:

• Enclosed shoes
• Long sleeved clothes/long pants that you are comfortable getting dirty! (there may be club overalls available to be borrowed)
• Helmet (available to be borrowed from the club)
• Headtorch
• Spare batteries for headtorch
• Secondary torch
• food/snacks for the day
• at least 2L water
• sunscreen/sunglasses/a big floppy hat to keep the cave sun off ya
• bag to carry everything

If you have read all of this information and this sounds like a trip you’re keen for, signups will open below from 9am Sunday 8th October!

NOTE Australian Citizens – This trip falls on the day of the 2023 Australian Indigenous Voice Referendum. If you are an Australian citizen you are required to vote so you must have done this beforehand! WE WILL NOT BE TAKING PEOPLE TO FIND VOTING CENTRES!

You need to be approved for the main Boree Log event to attend these trips. Please sign up for only ONE trip per day. If you get rejected you can then sign up for another trip, this just makes it easier for volunteer trip leaders. Please be aware that as the weather is unpredictable, trip leaders may need to alter trips accordingly.

Please include in the comment: your experience (outdoors background and whether you have any caving experience),  whether you have a car and how many people you can take, and name your favourite kind of rock (just so we know you have read all of this information).

If you have any questions please feel free to message Harry or myself.

Thanks,

Liam
