For those who don’t know, Rogaining is an adventure sport similar to orienteering, where teams of 2-5 people navigate over a course to reach as many checkpoints as possible in a set timeframe, using a map and compass. Checkpoints are worth different amounts of points depending on how difficult they are to reach, so a lot of strategy is involved in planning an achievable and efficient route to get as many points as possible. Adding to…
Umina – Pearl Beach – Patonga Walk 26/4/26 (I just noticed the symmetry of the date!). Fine weather and a pleasantly warm day made for a nice walk along this route which can be difficult to do in hot weather. It was a very pleasant walk on a day in the middle of a long weekend holiday. Ten of…
Trip report by Terry Our first collab trip with the canoe club in a long while was a great success! The bushwalking and canoe clubs are closely related in our goals, spirits, culture, and many trip leaders with the bushwalking club are leaders within the canoe club (and vice versa). The plan…
This trip was created as a replacement for Vyom’s original Lyrid meteor shower trip to Hanging rock. I was really looking forward to this trip, so when he cancelled the trip due to a cloudy forecast, I created this trip in the hopes that maybe it wouldn’t be as cloudy as the forecast suggested (unfortunately I was wrong). Out of…

I normally dont write trip report but this trip deserves one 😀 (I will use point form coz my English is bad) BLUF: Good weather, Good View, Good Glowworms, Good Waterfall, Good Food, Good Beer, Good People, Good Vibe Fun trip – Weather is wild in Sydney (Hail, Thunderstorm, Flood etc), surprisingly, not in Blackheath nor Hazelbrook. Lucky us….
For the first time this year, an abseiling induction is being held in suburban Sydney. It’s not a particularly interesting trip, but I thought I would leave this trip report for the reference of future trip leaders (and beginners looking to join one of these). Vincent and I have run two of the same sessions in the same location. For most…
Taronga (Athol Wharf) to Chinamans Beach, Sunday 15/3/26. Considering that this day would be rather warm (27C) I decided to choose this walk (coincidentally done exactly one year ago this day), as it offered quite a bit of shade on the tracks. I had considerd doing Pearl Beach and Patonga but that will wait for a more mild day. So we…
We’ve been planning to do this canyon for a while and every weekend, bad rain forecasts push things away. We’ve got Aidan and his friends (Noah and Jayden), me Vincent Adam, and Murray our beginner looking to try out the more technical canyons. The main challenge with organising a trip down this canyon is the climbing exit, needing someone to lead climb and someone to lead belay. On Friday…
The Twister & Rocky Creek canyons are two absolutely beautiful canyons that make for a perfect day trip from Sydney. Both canyons are ideal for first-time canyoners who have previous bushwalking experience. The two canyons consisted of somewhat steep drops into water and sliding down rockface. Our initial…
The Sydney University Bushwalkers (SUBW) are a bushwalking (hiking) club based at the University of Sydney but open to all. We are a way for people to come together for bushwalking, canyoning, skiing and social events. Many of our bushwalks are in the Blue Mountains and other national parks near Sydney.
