The Boree Log is a club tradition dating back over twenty years. It's our twice annual camp held somewhere around Sydney and all club members are invited to come - the more the merrier!
Most people arrive on the Friday night and set up camp. On Saturday various activities are run such as canyoning, bushwalking, canoeing and climbing depending on the chosen location.
Saturday night is the big one, it's a club tradition for everyone to wear some sort of formal wear (you can get something suitable for $15 from your local oppurtunity shop…) and eat a nice dinner. We have recently revived an old tradition of a spit roast with great success. Expect to enjoy a roast chicken or sheep on the saturday night.
If you want to come to the Boree Log, you need to organise your own transport to the camp. There are far too many people coming to Boree Log and far to many other things to look after for the exec to make sure everybody has a car spot.
To find a spot in a car going to Boree Log, keep your eyes on the discussion forum and email list, and post messages yourself.
If you are driving to Boree Log, be a good sport and try to fill up your car - it'll keep your petrol costs down.
In both cases make sure you bring the directions and map posted and emailed by the exec to make sure that there is at least one copy in each car.
Sometimes a bus and pick ups from the nearest train station are offered, but it is your own responsibility to organise a spot on either and be on the right train at the right time. DON'T ASSUME that there is a spot for you without confirming it in advance with the organisers.
