[WJ Palooza] SUNDAY – Signature (Beginner)

Sign up for ONE Saturday and ONE Sunday trip. If you do not get accepted on your first choice trip then you may sign up for a different one. (Same format as Boree Log!). You must be signed up to this main event to sign up to individual trips

Signups Open at 8pm Monday 14th

If you think hide and seek above ground is fun, try it underground! Signature cave is an excellent playground, with so many great hiding spots for games of sardines. Named due to the graffiti covering its walls (try and find the oldest!), it’s a great, walk-in cave for those who are sick of their harness. Signature Cave is suitable for anyone! No ropework, no ladders, just pure underground fun close to camp.

FYI There are a number of bats present in this cave! (and also bat poo / guano). They are very small and cute – very unlikely to bite you!

An except and pictures from https://www.johnevans.id.au/Pages/Walk%20Descriptions/2010_08_28.html below:

“The photos can speak for themselves – a magic place. Grafitti in places, some as old as the late 1800s. Most done in black soot. The signatures reminded me of the walls my parents-in-law’s attic toilet at The Old Vicarage – but here the visitors’ book was vandalous. An area of rimstone dams, not pristine because of the large number of visitors over many years, but still most interesting. Water droplets twinkled in places. Down an easy crawl, we came to a dragons tooth…. We had ample time to poke around a bit, finally coming back up a level through the crawl and eventually back out into the lovely sunlight.”

A jaunt down to Dogleg may be on the cards, pending interest! 😉

BYO Gear
