The following is a list of trips proposed by club members. If you wish to participate in a trip, please have the courtesy to register as far in advance as possible as trip leaders have to organise equipment and transport and deal with lots of people at once. Some trips may be forced to change dates, leaders, or details as unforeseen things crop up. Keep a lookout on the web site and email list for the most up to date info. Note that many of the activities listed are inherently dangerous, and you could be seriously injured or even die - please be careful.

The Festival of the Canyon is an OAC tradition and is always a great trip. We will be running a number of trips for our members, mostly of an intermediate level, so you must have some abseiling/canyoning experience. Club trips will be predominantly canyon trips - however if you would rather walk or climb feel free to organise your own trip on the weekend.
We will be inviting a number of other uni and outdoor clubs, so there is sure to be a big party at the campground on the Saturday night.
BWRS FUNDRAISER
All OAC participants will be asked to donate a minimum of $10 to the BWRS fundraising effort. In addition you will be encouraged to further assist the fundraiser by purchasing drinks or BBQ foods, or by participating in other activities on the night. We promise it won't be expensive, but please be prepared for this. More info on these activities soon.
FUNDRAISER COMPETITION PRIZES: We have some awesome prizes to give away thanks to our friends from Canyoning Supplies, National Geographic, The North Face, and Climbing Anchors. Watch this space for info on how you can enter the draw.
(Note: If you cannot attend but would still like to make a donation, contact me!)
You'll need canyoning and camping gear. I will send out a full list closer to the date. Most of the gear can be borrowed from the club.
