Trips
Our society runs trips regularly to many of the caving areas in New South Wales. We also run occasional trips to other states along the East-Coast of Australia and infrequent expeditions to other countries.
The society's Committee generally plans trips a year in advance. However, some of these trips are not confirmed until all necessary permits are received from the cave management authorities. Trips might be cancelled or rescheduled on relatively short notice. On many trips the attendance numbers are limited due to safety and environmental protection considerations. Therefore all members should be aware of the RULE that no one is to attend ANY TRIP to ANY AREA unless they have CONTACTED the TRIP LEADER personally and advised them of your intention to attend the trip.
We ask all visitors attending an official trip of our society to complete a Visitors' Registration form and pay the visitors' fee applicable for the trip.
You can view and print a copy of our Visitor's Registration form HERE. You can also obtain a form from the trip leader at the time of the trip. We would like to ask you to complete this registration form and hand it to the trip leader before entering any caves!
